Services
ADHD Testing
Our comprehensive ADHD testing includes medical, psychiatric, and cognitive assessments to ensure accurate diagnosis. We identify root causes of attention difficulties and coexisting conditions while evaluating individual strengths. The process involves clinical interviews, standardized behavioral assessments, and collaboration with families or educators when appropriate. This evidence-based approach supports tailored treatment plans including medication management and behavioral strategies.
Psychiatric Evaluations
Initial psychiatric evaluations include thorough symptom assessment, medical history review, and diagnostic testing when needed. Our providers establish diagnoses for conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder during 60-minute appointments. We develop individualized treatment plans incorporating medication management and coordinate care with therapists or primary care physicians as required.
Medication Management
Ongoing medication management appointments monitor treatment effectiveness through regular follow-ups. Our providers adjust dosages, address side effects, and ensure medications align with treatment goals. We emphasize patient education about medication purposes, potential side effects, and treatment duration while maintaining open communication for dosage adjustments as needed.
TelePsychiatry
HIPAA-compliant telepsychiatry services provide medication management and follow-up care through secure video conferencing. Available for established patients in multiple North Carolina locations, these virtual visits maintain treatment continuity while offering scheduling flexibility. Our platform supports care from home, work, or while traveling without compromising clinical quality.
Adolescent Psychiatry
Specialized psychiatric care for adolescents addresses anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders through medication management. Our providers conduct comprehensive evaluations to create individualized treatment plans while collaborating with families and schools. We focus on early intervention to support academic performance, social relationships, and long-term emotional well-being for teens aged 13-18.
