Who We Help in Fayetteville

Fayetteville revolves around Fort Liberty -- the largest Army installation in the country. That means we see a lot of people dealing with the specific pressures of military life. Active duty service members managing PTSD, anxiety, and sleep problems that come with deployment cycles. Military spouses handling the stress of solo parenting during deployments, constant moves, and career disruptions. Veterans transitioning to civilian life and finding that the adjustment is harder than expected.

We also see the civilian workforce that keeps Fayetteville running. Healthcare workers at Cape Fear Valley Health pulling long shifts. Teachers at Cumberland County Schools managing underfunded classrooms. Manufacturing workers at Goodyear and warehouse staff at Amazon dealing with physical and mental exhaustion.

And we see families. Teenagers struggling with the social disruption of another PCS move. College students at Fayetteville State University and Methodist University trying to hold it together academically.

Our Approach

We understand the military community. We know that asking for mental health help can feel like a career risk -- and we know it should not be. Our evaluations are thorough but respectful. We focus on medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions. We prescribe what works and adjust until it is right.

For patients who have tried multiple medications without results, we offer GeneSight genetic testing to identify which medications match your body chemistry. We also provide ESA evaluations for qualifying patients.

For Military Families

If you or your spouse is active duty, reserve, or a veteran -- we get it. Deployment stress, reintegration challenges, TBI-related symptoms, and the mental load of military life are things we see every week. We accept TRICARE and can work around unpredictable military schedules.

For military families dealing with frequent moves, separation from a deployed parent, or constant change -- we work closely with you to build a plan that fits your life.

For Students

Students at Fayetteville State University, Methodist University, and Fayetteville Technical Community College can get appointments within days. ADHD, anxiety, and depression are the most common things we evaluate in college-age patients. Campus counseling centers have limited availability -- we do not.

Getting Started

Your first appointment is about 60 minutes. We ask direct questions about your symptoms, your history, and what has or has not worked. You leave with a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Medication can often start the same day.

We accept TRICARE, Blue Cross NC, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and NC Medicaid plans (Healthy Blue, WellCare, AmeriHealth Caritas). Cash pay is available.

Our office is at 109 Hay St, Suite 200, Fayetteville 28301 -- in the heart of downtown, accessible from Fort Liberty, Hope Mills, Spring Lake, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fayetteville Care

Do you accept TRICARE?
Yes. We accept TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select for active duty service members, dependents, and retirees. We also accept most major commercial insurance plans and NC Medicaid.
How quickly can I get an appointment in Fayetteville?
Most new patients are seen within one week. We keep same-week openings specifically for new patients and urgent needs.
Do you treat PTSD?
Yes. PTSD is one of the most common conditions we treat. We use proven medication approaches including SSRIs like sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil), as well as prazosin for PTSD-related nightmares. If you need trauma-focused therapy in addition to medication, we can help connect you with local therapists.
Do you see military dependents and teens?
Yes. We see patients ages 15 and older, including military dependents. ADHD, anxiety, and behavioral issues related to deployment stress or frequent moves are common in the patients we treat.
Will my command know I am seeking mental health care?
We are a private practice, not a military treatment facility. Your records with us are protected by standard medical privacy laws (HIPAA). We do not report to your command.
Do you serve patients in Hope Mills, Spring Lake, and Southern Pines?
Yes. Our downtown Fayetteville office serves patients from Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Southern Pines, Raeford, Sanford, Aberdeen, and surrounding communities.
Do you prescribe controlled substances for ADHD?
Yes, when clinically indicated. After a proper check-up, we prescribe stimulant medications (Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta) and non-stimulant options (Strattera, Wellbutrin). Every patient receives a thorough assessment first.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring your insurance or TRICARE card, a photo ID, and a list of current medications. If you have records from previous providers or military treatment facilities, those are helpful but not required.
