Psychiatric Care in High Point, NC

High Point is the "Furniture Capital of the World" and a key city in the Piedmont Triad. Home to High Point University, the biannual High Point Market that draws 75,000+ visitors, and a diverse manufacturing economy, the city serves as a crossroads between Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Major employers include furniture manufacturers, High Point Regional (Atrium Health), and the university.

Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness provides same-day virtual psychiatric care across High Point and surrounding Guilford and Davidson County communities.

Mental Health Care in High Point

High Point's furniture industry workforce faces unique stressors — physically demanding manufacturing jobs, market week pressure that disrupts normal schedules, and economic cycles tied to global trade. High Point University's rapid growth has brought thousands of students to the area, many dealing with academic pressure, homesickness, and the transition to independence.

The Triad has fewer psychiatrists per capita than Charlotte or the Triangle, and High Point residents often drive to Greensboro or Winston-Salem for psychiatric care. Telepsychiatry eliminates this commute — same-day access from your Emerywood home, North Main Street office, or HPU dorm room.

Insurance Accepted

We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and other major plans. View full insurance list →
