Comprehensive Mental Health Care
Psychiatry Services
At Apogee Behavioral Medicine, we provide comprehensive psychiatric care in Greensboro, NC, helping individuals manage a wide range of mental health conditions. Our team of board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs), and mental health professionals specialize in general psychiatry, medication management, and psychotherapy to support long-term mental wellness. Whether you or a loved one are facing anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance abuse, or behavioral disorders, we are dedicated to providing high-quality mental health services tailored to each patient’s needs.
Our psychiatry services focus on creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where new patients can openly discuss their concerns and receive personalized treatment plans. We believe in a holistic, patient-centered approach that combines medication management, therapy, and behavioral interventions to help individuals regain control over their mental health and improve their quality of life.
Comprehensive Psychiatry
Our Greensboro psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating various psychiatric disorders that impact daily life. Common conditions we treat include anxiety disorders, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), schizophrenia, and psychosis. Many patients struggle with recognizing the signs of mental health conditions, which can include mood changes, difficulty sleeping, increased stress, withdrawal from social activities, and physical symptoms like headaches or stomach issues. Identifying these symptoms early is essential for effective treatment.
Psychiatric care plays a critical role in improving overall well-being, strengthening relationships, and maintaining daily functioning. Untreated mental health conditions can impact physical health and increase the risk of chronic diseases. Seeking psychiatric services ensures access to treatment options that support emotional resilience and long-term mental wellness.
Understanding the Role of Psychiatrists and Treatment Plans
At Apogee Behavioral Medicine, we provide care through psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health disorders using medications, therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, including prescribing medications when necessary. Psychologists, on the other hand, focus primarily on therapy and counseling but do not prescribe medications.
Both psychiatrists and PMHNPs can prescribe medication, and our providers work closely with each patient to ensure safe and effective treatment. During an initial consultation, our team conducts a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, discusses symptoms and concerns, and develops a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both. Ongoing support and follow-up appointments allow us to adjust treatment as needed to optimize effectiveness and support long-term mental wellness.
Finding the Best Psychiatric Care
Choosing the right psychiatry provider is a critical step toward achieving mental wellness. When selecting a psychiatrist, it is essential to consider their credentials, areas of expertise, and treatment philosophy. Our team at Apogee Behavioral Medicine is composed of highly experienced professionals who take a patient-centered approach to psychiatric care.
Preparing for your first appointment can help ensure a smooth experience. We encourage patients to write down any questions or concerns, gather information about their medical history and current symptoms, and bring a list of medications and supplements they are currently taking. During the appointment, we will discuss treatment goals and expectations, ensuring that the care plan aligns with the patient’s needs.

What Our Patients Say
My experience with Apogee Behavioral Medicine has been amazing! The providers and office staff are so friendly and helpful and demonstrate a true sense of care. I appreciate that every time I call there is always a kind person on the other end of the phone. From scheduling, to my actual appointment with Dr. Ayers, they have made the entire process as straightforward and easy as possible. I prefer to be seen in-person, but travel for work so it’s comforting to know I have the option to book a virtual appointment, if needed. I’m so grateful for the compassion they have shown me and look forward to their guidance as I learn to manage my anxiety. I feel like I’ve finally found the support system I’ve been searching for.
I reached out to several psychiatry groups, some of which never even returned my call. Not only was I able to speak with an actual person, but she scheduled me for an appointment right away. Their office has a very calming feel and I was greeted with a smile and felt safe and welcomed at my appointment. I highly recommend Apogee Behavioral Medicine. They’re truly a wonderful group and their sincerity for patients dealing with mental health is at the forefront of this practice.
It was very easy to talk to the professionals there. They listened to everything I said and were very encouraging and supportive. I highly recommend Apogee Behavioral Medicine to anyone.
