This is a subtitle for your new post

Life can be overwhelming. The quiet pressure of daily stress, the paralyzing weight of depression, or the exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together can make it hard to keep moving forward. These experiences are part of being human, and reaching out for support is a powerful and brave step.


In Fuquay-Varina and the surrounding areas, The North Carolina Institute of Advanced NeuroHealth offers care that’s rooted in compassion and respect. Our team listens deeply, supports fully, and brings both clinical expertise and genuine understanding to every person we meet. We’re here to walk with you through the challenges and help you find a path toward healing, hope, and strength.


A Safe Space to Be Heard


Sometimes, the hardest part is reaching out. You may wonder if what you're feeling is "bad enough" to seek help, or whether someone will truly understand. Let us reassure you: if you’re struggling, your experience is valid and you deserve care.


We’ve created a space where you can speak openly, feel safe, and be met without judgement. Our team listens, asks questions that matter, and works with you to understand not only your symptoms but also your goals, strengths, and hopes.


No matter what you're going through, we start with compassion. That’s where true healing begins.


Who We Help


Mental health challenges come in many forms, and each individual’s experience is unique. Our team works with a wide range of concerns, and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.


Here are some of the conditions we support:


  • Depression – When everything feels heavy and joy feels out of reach, we help you find your way back to light. Whether it’s major depression, persistent depressive disorder, or postpartum depression, we provide treatment that goes beyond symptom management and helps you truly heal.
  • Anxiety – Racing thoughts, chronic worry, panic attacks, and social fears can take a serious toll on your life. We offer effective care to help calm the mind, improve coping skills, and reduce the burden of anxiety.
  • PTSD – Past trauma can linger in the body and mind. Our team provides compassionate treatment for PTSD that supports recovery at your pace, in your time.
  • OCD – Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. We offer treatment options to help you manage symptoms and regain a sense of control.
  • Bipolar Disorder – We help people navigate the highs and lows of bipolar disorder with evidence-based treatments that support stability and well-being.
  • ADHD – From focus struggles to impulsivity, ADHD affects all areas of life. We provide diagnosis and ongoing support for both teens and adults.
  • Teen Mood Disorders – Adolescence is hard enough without the added challenges of depression, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation. We work with teens and their families to build resilience and promote healthy development.
  • Postpartum Mental Health – The postpartum period can be filled with love and joy, but also fear, sadness, and overwhelm. You don’t have to face it alone. We support new parents with care that meets this unique life stage with compassion and expertise.


Personalized Care for Your Needs


We know that no two people are the same. That’s why we offer a variety of services—because your path to healing should be just as unique as you are.


Our services include:


Medication Management


When appropriate, medication can play an important role in treating mental health conditions. Our psychiatric providers work closely with you to find the right balance by adjusting medications thoughtfully, monitoring progress, and always listening to how you're feeling. You’re in control, and we’re here to guide you.


Telepsychiatry


Getting help should be simple. With telepsychiatry, we bring care directly to you whether you’re at home, on your lunch break, or need the flexibility of virtual appointments. It’s secure, confidential, and just as personalized as in-person visits.


TMS Therapy


For individuals with treatment-resistant depression or those looking for a non-medication approach, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This innovative, FDA-cleared therapy uses magnetic pulses to target specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. TMS is non-invasive, has no systemic side effects, and has helped many of our patients find lasting relief when other treatments haven’t worked.


Spravato® (Esketamine)


Spravato is an FDA-approved medication for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Administered under medical supervision in our clinic, Spravato can provide rapid relief for those who haven’t responded to traditional antidepressants. Our team is trained in its safe and effective use, and we walk with you every step of the way.


We Walk With You


Mental health treatment isn’t a quick fix. It’s a journey and it’s one we take seriously. From your very first appointment, our team will be with you, offering encouragement, clarity, and expert care. We celebrate your progress, support you through setbacks, and never lose sight of the breakthrough waiting ahead.

You may be feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of what to do next. That’s okay. Taking the first step by reaching out for help takes courage. But you don’t have to do this alone.


Care Rooted in Community


We’re proud to serve the Fuquay-Varina community. It’s a town filled with families, small businesses, and people who care about one another. We believe your mental health is a vital part of that community—because when you thrive, so does everything around you.


We don’t just treat conditions. We treat people. And we believe that with the right support, healing and hope are always possible.

Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray that works differently than traditional antidepressants. While most medications target serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato boosts glutamate, which helps the brain form new connections. In simple terms, it helps “rewire” parts of the brain affected by depression.
