At Emerald City Wellness we believe that health is not just the absence of illness, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. We strive to promote holistic health and wellness through our services and patient education programs. We believe that mental health is a continuous journey, not a destination, and that healing happens in layers over time. Recovery means showing yourself compassion, embracing progress over perfection, and allowing space for rest and growth. We trust that small, consistent steps can lead to lasting changes in your behavioral health.

These issues can affect your relationships, work, sleep, and sense of self—but with the right support, change is absolutely possible. We offer personalized care, including medication management and practical strategies, to help you feel more balanced, grounded, and empowered in your everyday life.

We offer virtual/video visits for your convenience. You can connect with our healthcare providers from the comfort of your own home or office, from any city, town, or county in North Carolina. This modality offers a more relaxed and improved experience.
We accept several commercial insurance plans and offer self-pay options if this is a better fit for you. Please verify with your insurance provider that we are in network with your benefits prior to your visit. Currently accepting Aetna, Optum, and Medicare. Cigna and BCBS coming soon. We are also in-network with Headway commercial payers, please visit the Headway link below for direct scheduling and insurance details.
We offer GeneSight® testing to help personalize your psychiatric medication treatment. This simple genetic test analyzes how your genes may affect your response to certain medications commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. The results can help guide medication choices, reduce trial-and-error, and support more effective, individualized care.
