Who We Are
NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS at 209 Lloyd St. Ste 260 in Carrboro! Call us at (919)240-4561 to schedule an appointment!
Our practice is welcoming and affirming to ALL individuals, including members of the LGBT community and people living with HIV. We are experienced in providing psychotherapy and/or psychotropic medication management to address alterations in mental health. Our philosophy is that not all
psychiatric/mental health challenges need medication, often what is most helpful is support and guidance for negotiating a difficult situation.
Medicine alone is rarely the best treatment for psychiatric/mental health challenges; medication is most effective when coupled with psychotherapy.
