Virtual & in-person • 25 mi away • Pittsboro, NC


Hello, want to work together on a path to Clarity in 2026? I provide ADHD Support in North Carolina 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.

Billing transparancy- Most new patient visits are billed a 99204 or 99205 and most follow-ups are 99214's. I do NOT bill therapy add on codes to new patient visits. Sometimes Headway will estimate your visit with a therapy code ad on and this makes it $300+. New visits are never more that $175. I sometimes bill add on therapy codes to follow ups (90833) IF its part of treatment plan. I won't surprise you. Please ask any provider you pick if they use add on codes- you deserve to know.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Durham

Searching for OCD therapists in Durham starts with finding someone trained in care for obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not every therapist has training in it. As you compare therapists, look for OCD, ERP, anxiety, phobias, and depression in their listed specialties, and read each bio for details about their approach.

Durham has a strong mental health community, with options near local neighborhoods, nearby campuses, and surrounding areas of the Triangle. Still, the right fit depends on more than location. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Durham or virtual appointments that expand access beyond nearby offices. It also helps to check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling times that work for you, and clearly describes experience with ERP rather than general familiarity with OCD.

Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who match your needs, review bios, verify insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
