Behavioral health services

01

Telehealth

Secure video appointments through Cardinal Health Services are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant platform and deliver the same clinical encounter that patients receive in the office, adapted for remote presentation. Telehealth is available for both psychiatric medication management and psychotherapy sessions, and patients may transition between in-person and video care as their circumstances require. We maintain the same documentation, follow-up intervals, and clinical standards regardless of the modality in which the appointment occurs.

Specialty Care

Cardinal Health Services has organized focused clinical programming in several areas where the adult population in North Carolina carries a particularly high burden of unmet need. These specialty programs bring together psychiatry and therapy within a coordinated framework, allow clinicians with relevant experience to take on appropriate cases, and provide patients with a structured pathway rather than an improvised one. Current specialty emphasis includes anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and perinatal mental health for adults.

03

Couples & Family Care

Relational and family therapy at Cardinal Health Services addresses the systemic patterns that individual work alone is not positioned to resolve. Our clinicians who provide this care have formal training in relational treatment models and work with couples and adult family members on communication, conflict, role renegotiation, and the relational dimensions of one member's psychiatric condition. Sessions are scheduled with both parties present unless a clinical rationale supports a different structure.

04

Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy at Cardinal Health Services is delivered by licensed therapists who select modalities based on the specific diagnosis and the patient's stated goals rather than applying a single framework to every presentation. Sessions are scheduled consistently, and the therapeutic relationship is expected to develop over time with sufficient depth to hold difficult material. Approaches in use across our therapy staff include cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and acceptance-based frameworks.

Psychiatry & Medication Management

Psychiatric care at Cardinal Health Services begins with a comprehensive evaluation that maps the full diagnostic picture before any pharmacological recommendation is made. Follow-up appointments are structured to allow adequate time for reviewing symptom progression, tolerability, functional status, and any emerging clinical concerns. Medication management at this practice is a continuous clinical process, not a series of brief check-ins.

About the practice

Cardinal Health Services

Sound psychiatric care is not assembled quickly. At Cardinal Health Services, we hold that a thorough diagnostic process, a clinician who knows you across time, and a treatment plan grounded in evidence are the conditions under which lasting progress becomes possible.

Our clinical team is composed of board-certified psychiatrists and independently licensed therapists (psychologists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors). We deliver care both in person and through secure telehealth, and we work with most major commercial insurance plans.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How long does it typically take to be seen for a new psychiatric evaluation at Cardinal Health Services?
New patient appointment availability varies with clinician schedules and the volume of referrals received at a given time. We encourage prospective patients to contact our intake team directly for a current estimate, as we do not publish a fixed wait-time figure that may not reflect actual availability.
Is telehealth available for all services, or only for certain appointment types?
Secure video appointments are available for both psychiatric medication management and individual psychotherapy sessions. Couples and family therapy may also be conducted by telehealth in appropriate circumstances, which the treating clinician will determine. Initial evaluations can be conducted by telehealth for patients in North Carolina who cannot access our offices in person.
What professional credentials do the clinicians at Cardinal Health Services hold?
Psychiatrists at this practice hold board certification through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Licensed psychotherapists hold graduate-level degrees in social work, counseling, or psychology and hold the appropriate North Carolina licensure for independent clinical practice. Specific credential details for individual clinicians are available upon request and on this site's clinical staff pages.
