Why North Carolinians Choose Pinnacle

North Carolina ranks among the states with the most severe psychiatric provider shortages. With over 10.5 million residents spread across 100 counties — from the Appalachian mountains to the Outer Banks — millions of North Carolinians face 6-12 week waitlists for in-person psychiatric care. Rural communities in eastern and western NC often have zero practicing psychiatrists within a 60-mile radius.

Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness eliminates geographic barriers entirely. Our licensed psychiatric providers deliver the same quality evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management via secure video that you would receive in a Charlotte, Raleigh, or Durham office — accessible from your home, your workplace, or your university dorm anywhere in NC.

Whether you need an ADHD evaluation, anxiety medication, depression treatment, PTSD care, or bipolar disorder management, we provide same-day access with insurance accepted and no referral required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?

No. You can book directly without a referral from your primary care provider. Most insurance plans do not require referrals for psychiatric care.

Is telepsychiatry as effective as in-person?

What insurance do you accept?

We accept BCBS, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and other major plans. Virtual visits are covered at the same rate as in-person appointments.
