Who We Help in Charlotte
Charlotte is a city that moves fast. It is the second-largest banking center in the country, and the pace shows. We see finance professionals from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Truist who are running on adrenaline and anxiety. We see healthcare workers from Atrium Health and Novant Health who spend all day taking care of other people and nothing left for themselves. We see teachers from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools managing classrooms of 30 kids while their own stress goes unchecked.
Charlotte is also a transplant city. A lot of our patients moved here for work and left their support systems behind. Starting over in a new city while dealing with anxiety or depression makes everything harder. We get that.
And we see parents in Ballantyne, Matthews, and Huntersville who are watching their kids struggle with focus, mood, or behavior problems and do not know where to start. We treat patients 15 and older.
Our Approach
We are a psychiatric practice focused on medication management. We diagnose conditions -- ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, PMDD, and others -- and treat them with medication. We are not a therapy practice. If you need a therapist, we will point you in the right direction.
What sets us apart: we actually take the time to listen. Your first visit is about 60 minutes, not a rushed 15-minute checklist. If medications have not worked before, we offer GeneSight testing to find out why. We also provide ESA evaluations for patients who qualify.
For Students at UNC Charlotte and Local Colleges
If you are a student at UNC Charlotte, Queens University, Johnson C. Smith, Johnson & Wales, or Central Piedmont Community College -- and you are struggling with focus, anxiety, or depression -- we can help. ADHD is one of the most common things we evaluate in college-age patients because it often goes undiagnosed until the academic demands of college expose it.
Campus counseling centers are overloaded. We offer now accepting new patients and accept most student insurance plans.
For Working Professionals
Charlotte's economy runs on banking, energy, healthcare, and tech. People in high-performance roles at Duke Energy, Honeywell, Lowe's corporate, and the city's growing tech sector deal with constant pressure. Burnout is not a buzzword here -- it is a real clinical issue that affects focus, sleep, and mood. We see it every day and we treat it.
Getting Started
Your first appointment is about 60 minutes. We ask about your symptoms, history, and what you have tried before. You leave with a diagnosis and a plan. Most patients can start medication the same day if it is the right fit.
We accept Blue Cross NC, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and NC Medicaid plans including Healthy Blue, WellCare, and AmeriHealth Caritas. Cash pay is available for uninsured patients.
Our Charlotte office is at 128 S Tryon St, Suite 1900, 28202 -- right in Uptown, easy to reach from anywhere in the metro.
