After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to serve the community and provide support to those who need it while reducing barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

Theresa Abbah

Theresa Abbah

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.

I spent more than 15 years working as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient state mental health facility, which provided a strong foundation in managing complex mental health conditions. I am proud to have been one of the pioneers involved in establishing Youth Behavioral Health services, helping guide its successful accreditation and commitment to maintaining high standards of care.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I have advanced my practice working in both youth and adult inpatient behavioral health settings, including roles with UNC Youth Behavioral Health Hospital in Butner and UNC Johnston Health. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health disorders, conducting crisis assessments, and providing timely referrals for individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric, substance use, neurocognitive, or developmental challenges.

In 2018, I independently developed an alternative psychotherapy-based psychosocial treatment program to support patients in crisis at UNC Wakebrook, reflecting my commitment to innovation in mental health care.

I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families. My clinical strengths include psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, crisis stabilization, maintenance treatment and leadership, all of which guide my mission to improve mental health outcomes and support individuals on their path to recovery.

Happy patient looking away

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 Therapist in Burlington

Finding psychiatrists in Burlington starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management usually includes an evaluation, follow-up visits, and ongoing review of how your care plan fits your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches what you want to address.

Burlington is a smaller market, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care covered through your plan when your benefits apply. Psychiatric visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Psychiatric care in Burlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify coverage for your plan, and book directly with someone accepting new patients. Browse profiles, compare fit, and schedule 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
