Telehealth Therapy & Psychiatric Medication Services Near the NC-SC Border
Virtual Mental Health Care
Accessible telehealth therapy and psychiatric services for NC border communities
For residents living in North Carolina cities near the South Carolina border — like Rockingham, Kings Mountain, Monroe, and Wadesboro — accessing quality mental health care has historically meant long drives to larger cities or settling for limited local options.
But thanks to the growth of telehealth, that's changing. At Pinnacle Behavioral Health & Wellness, we bring comprehensive therapy and psychiatric medication management directly to your home — no matter where you live in North Carolina.
⚠️ Important Notice
We currently serve North Carolina residents only. While we're located near the SC border and serve many NC border communities, we do not provide services to South Carolina residents at this time.
The Rise of Telehealth in Rural NC Communities

No Travel Required
Eliminate 1-2 hour drives to Charlotte or Raleigh for appointments
Flexible Scheduling
Evening and weekend appointments that fit your work schedule
Privacy & Comfort
Attend sessions from the privacy of your own home
Same Quality Care
Licensed NC providers with specialized training and experience
What Services Are Available via Telehealth?
At Pinnacle BHW, we offer comprehensive virtual mental health services including:
Individual Therapy
Evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. Our therapists use approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care.
Psychiatric Medication Management
Monthly medication evaluations for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and more. Our psychiatric providers prescribe and monitor medications, adjust dosages, and ensure safe, effective treatment.
Initial Psychiatric Evaluations
Comprehensive diagnostic assessments to understand your symptoms, history, and treatment goals. We create personalized treatment plans combining therapy and medication when appropriate.
Ongoing Follow-Up Care
Regular check-ins to monitor progress, refill prescriptions, and adjust treatment as needed. We're here for the long term, not just a one-time visit.
Safe Prescribing for Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD
One common concern about telehealth is medication safety. Rest assured: our providers follow the same rigorous standards for virtual prescribing as they would in person.
Our Medication Safety Protocol:
- Thorough medical history review before prescribing
- Regular monitoring of medication effectiveness and side effects
- Coordination with your primary care provider when needed
- Electronic prescriptions sent directly to your local pharmacy
- 24/7 crisis support resources provided to all patients
We commonly prescribe medications for:
- Anxiety: SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, hydroxyzine
- Depression: Antidepressants including SSRIs, SNRIs, and atypical options
- ADHD: Stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin) and non-stimulants (Strattera, Intuniv)
- Insomnia: Sleep aids and sleep hygiene counseling
- Bipolar disorder: Mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics
