Telehealth and In-Person
Conveniently located just a short walk from UNC Chapel Hill, we are a mental health clinic that offers psychiatry, medication management, and therapy
Unlike many practices, we build in time. Longer appointments mean less rushing—and a provider who can get to know you and adjust your care with you as your needs evolve.
Chapel Hill Psychiatry
We’ve moved away from the traditional 15-minute “medication check” model. We believe quality mental health support requires a deeper connection, which is why our relational approach to psychiatry prioritizes time and conversation over speed.
We recognize that your journey is personal.
Our specialized psychiatrists in Chapel Hill are dedicated to longer, comprehensive sessions that allow them to understand the full picture of your health. By fostering a true partnership centered on your wellbeing, we ensure your treatment plan is as unique as you are.

Mental Health Therapy in Chapel Hill
Whether you’re navigating the demands of student life, managing workplace stress, working through a major life transition, or dealing with something more personal — our Chapel Hill therapists provide a focused, consistent space to work through it.
Our Chapel Hill therapy team includes licensed clinicians with training across a broad range of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and somatic-based therapy. Because our therapists work within the same system as our psychiatrists, your care can be coordinated directly — without the friction of separate practices that don’t communicate.

What We Treat in Chapel Hill
Our Chapel Hill team brings a range of clinical backgrounds and areas of specialization — so we can match you with the provider best suited to your specific needs, not just whoever has the next available opening. We treat a wide range of mental health and substance use conditions, and our providers work collaboratively across disciplines to make sure your care reflects the full picture.
Mental Health Conditions We Treat in Chapel Hill
If you don’t see your specific concern listed, reach out — we’re happy to talk through whether we’re the right fit and connect you with the provider who makes the most sense for your situation.
Mental Health IOP, TMS, and Outpatient Rehab
Our Chapel Hill office covers the full range of outpatient psychiatry and therapy. When a higher level of support is needed — such as TMS for treatment-resistant depression, or structured programs like our Mental Health IOP, Substance Abuse IOP, or PHP — those services are available at our Raleigh location, just 30 minutes away, within the same integrated system. You won’t have to start over with a new provider or repeat your history.
For More Intensive Mental Health Needs
Because these services are part of the same system, stepping into a higher level of care doesn’t mean starting over. Your providers already know you, your history travels with you, and the transition is coordinated rather than handed off to somewhere new.
