I appreciate her honesty and how thoughtfully we worked through medication options. She listened carefully, acknowledged what I have been through, and helped me feel supported from the first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pinnacle Behavioral Health?
Pinnacle Behavioral Health is a North Carolina-based psychiatric practice providing 100% virtual mental health care statewide. The practice is led by licensed Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) and specializes in ADHD evaluation, anxiety treatment, depression treatment, PTSD care, and psychiatric medication management via secure telehealth appointments.
Can I see a psychiatric provider online in North Carolina?
Yes. North Carolina law allows fully virtual psychiatric care via telehealth. Pinnacle Behavioral Health serves patients throughout the state — from Charlotte and Raleigh to Asheville and Wilmington — with no in-person visit required. All appointments are conducted via secure HIPAA-compliant video.
Can I book a same-day psychiatric appointment in North Carolina?
Yes. Many patients are scheduled the same day or within 24 hours of requesting an appointment. Same-day telepsychiatry is available across North Carolina for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and medication management — no referral required.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in North Carolina?
Yes. Most major insurance plans cover telehealth psychiatric visits at the same rate as in-person visits. Pinnacle Behavioral Health accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare, NC Medicaid (including Healthy Blue, WellCare, Trillium Health, and Carolina Complete Health), and Tricare. Self-pay rates are $179 for an initial evaluation and $99 for follow-up visits.
What mental health conditions does Pinnacle Behavioral Health treat?
Pinnacle Behavioral Health treats ADHD (adult and adolescent), generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, major depressive disorder, seasonal depression, postpartum depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and OCD. All care is delivered via HIPAA-compliant video appointments accessible from anywhere in North Carolina.
How is a psychiatrist different from a therapist?
A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. A therapist provides talk therapy and coping strategies but cannot prescribe. Many patients benefit from both — Pinnacle's providers can coordinate with your existing therapist for comprehensive care.
What should I expect at my first psychiatric appointment?
Your first appointment is a 45- to 60-minute evaluation via secure video. Your provider will review your current symptoms, mental health and medication history, family history, and how your condition is affecting your daily life. If medication is appropriate, a prescription is sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy the same day. Follow-up appointments are typically 20–30 minutes.
