Hello, want to work together on a path to Clarity in 2026? I provide ADHD Support in North Carolina
I provide support to NC residents through telehealth or in-person visits at our Pittsboro office in the Chatham Wellness Collective. (south of Chapel Hill)
A Streamlined Approach to ADHD Care. Navigating the ADHD assessment and treatment process can be frustrating and expensive. Many individuals face delays, expensive testing fees, and additional requirements, such as a psychological evaluation and/or a doctor’s note or EKG, just to receive care. Others are seen by telehealth only providers who can't prescribe stimulants and who tell you one has to start off on Wellbutrin or Strattera (non stimulants). That is terrible care. At our clinic, we prioritize efficiency and accessibility.
We believe in low doses of medication and finding your perfect dose to balance attention with mood. Most of our ADHD patients are on low dosing.
My approach to treatment is collaborative, forward-thinking, and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can feel comfortable discussing your challenges.
State Employees- Headway is part of a program that makes most visit have only a $10 copay.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Asheville, NC
Finding psychiatrists in Asheville starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also provide diagnosis and medication management. Therapists in Asheville, NC focus on talk therapy, while some prescribers may also offer therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach before you book.
Asheville is a smaller city, so nearby in-person psychiatric appointments may have more limited availability. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options across North Carolina while still giving you access to care that fits your schedule. Psychiatric medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare Asheville psychiatrists, look at appointment times, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and what their bio says about communication style, medication management, and conditions they commonly support.
Psychiatric care in Asheville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept your insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for specialty, format, and availability. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
