The Way Medicine Was Intended.
Are you:
❀ Tired of quick-fix medication appointments that don’t truly heal?
❀ Frustrated by the lack of holistic, whole-person care in conventional medicine?
❀ Longing for a provider who actually listens and understands?
I get it—I’ve lived it.
I’ve felt it in my own body. I’ve watched loved ones suffer at the hands of a system that often treats symptoms instead of people. And I’ve seen patients get lost in prescriptions that never brought them closer to real health.
👉 Imagine stepping on a nail and going to the doctor. Instead of removing the nail, they hand you pain medication. Later, an antibiotic. Still, no one removes the nail. The wound festers. The real problem remains.
That’s how modern healthcare works far too often — piling on treatments while missing the root.
Eventually I realized: staying in that system would never be enough. Real healing takes time, curiosity, and the courage to look beneath the surface.
Rooted in connection and truth, White Oak Medicine exists to offer the kind of care most people never receive: time, presence, and a whole-person approach that honors their body’s intelligence.
Hi, I’m Veronica Johnson. Allopathically trained and holistically driven.
I help people uncover the real roots of fatigue, inflammation, hormonal chaos, medication dependence, and those lingering symptoms that never quite resolve. I do this the same way I’ve rebuilt my own health—by listening closely, running the labs that matter, and helping you return to your own rhythm of healing.
I’m an FNP-C and PMHNP-BC, which simply means I’m trained to hold both the body and the mind with equal weight. At White Oak Medicine, I finally have the freedom to practice the way healing actually works: unhurried visits, real relationships, and care that reaches deeper than diagnosis codes.
Through a holistic and functional lens, I help people safely deprescribe when appropriate, regulate their nervous system, and rebuild the foundations of metabolic and hormonal health. But healing isn’t just biochemistry—it’s the story beneath the symptoms. The tension you’ve carried for years. The pace your body can’t keep up with anymore. The stress patterns that began long before adulthood.
My work weaves clinical training with lived experience. I’ve walked through my own seasons of unraveling and repair, and that journey shapes the way I practice. I’m here for whole-person healing—supporting your physiology, metabolism, nervous system, and the deeper emotional layers that conventional medicine often misses.
I know firsthand that real healing isn’t linear or effortless. It asks for presence, patience, and partnership. But when you commit to that path, your body remembers how to find its way home.

A medical home rooted in the three pillars of whole-person care
Direct Primary Care.
Mental Health & Functional Psychiatry.
Functional Medicine.
Three paths, one purpose: helping you return to your natural rhythm of health.
White Oak Medicine is built around a simple truth: you can’t separate the body from the mind, or either from the story you’ve lived. That’s why your care lives inside a triad that holds all three at once:
Direct Primary Care (Redbud):
Relationship-based medical care without the rush. Longer visits, clear communication, and a provider who actually knows your seasons, your stressors, and your patterns. This is primary care the way it used to feel—steady, personal, and rooted in trust.
Mental Health & Functional Psychiatry (Multiflora Rose):
A whole-body approach to emotional wellbeing. We look at trauma patterns, nervous system tone, hormones, thyroid, gut health, stress physiology, relationships, and the places your system gets overloaded. This is slow, attuned, root-cause mental health care—not medication management in 15-minute blocks.
Functional Medicine (Mugwort, Yarrow, Motherwort):
Deep investigation into the physiology underneath your symptoms. Hormones, minerals, inflammation, autoimmunity, blood sugar, detox pathways, gut health, sleep, and stress cycles. Functional medicine reveals the “why” beneath the “what,” so you can finally heal instead of chasing symptoms.
Why this triad matters
Most clinics separate these three categories and expect patients to navigate between them.
That’s not how real life works.
Your fatigue might come from blood sugar.
Your panic might come from progesterone.
Your brain fog might come from trauma physiology.
Your insomnia might come from gut inflammation.
Your depression might come from a life that’s been out of rhythm for too long.
Here, you don’t get broken into parts.
You get one home, one relationship, one place to land.
At White Oak Medicine, we walk with you to the root—so you can finally move toward the health that’s been waiting for you.
~My Approach to Care~
At White Oak Medicine, my approach is rooted in relationship. I look for the deeper patterns beneath symptoms, support safe deprescribing when it’s appropriate, and help you rebuild the kind of long-term wellness that doesn’t rely on quick fixes. The work is collaborative, steady, and grounded in the truth that healing happens best inside connection.

Step in to true Healing
with The Rhythm Pathways at White Oak Medicine
We are living in a time of profound change. So many people are feeling the weight of uncertainty, disconnection, and imbalance. But within that intensity lies an opening — a chance to reclaim your health, deepen your resilience, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Healing isn’t only personal; it’s collective. When you take responsibility for your well-being, you contribute to a shift that ripples through your family, your community, and every place your life touches.
And sometimes the hardest part is remembering that you still have permission to trust yourself.
Most of us were taught to hand our power over — to experts, systems, protocols, prescriptions.
Yet your body has never stopped speaking.
It’s been signaling, whispering, nudging… asking for a way back home.
My work is simply to help you hear those signals again — the ones you trusted long before stress, trauma, or the medical system drowned them out.
Over time, you learn the language of your own physiology.
You recognize your rhythms.
You understand your patterns.
You soften into your instincts with a grounded kind of confidence that can’t be taken from you.
Anyone can hand you a plan and call it healing.
But real transformation comes when you learn to read your own body, your own cycles, your own truth.
That’s the heart of this work: helping you become your own healer, so you’re no longer dependent on any doctor, therapist, or guru to interpret what your body is saying.
Because the truest measure of healing isn’t perfect labs or the absence of symptoms.
It’s belonging to yourself again.
