El nuevo tratamiento para la depresión
Psychiatrists use clinical interviews, validated assessment tools, and medical knowledge to distinguish between conditions with overlapping symptoms. Depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD can all cause concentration problems—but they require different medications. Accurate diagnosis from the start saves months of ineffective treatment.
Accurate Medical Diagnosis
We partner with GeneSight for genetic testing that identifies which medications your body metabolizes effectively. This reduces trial-and-error, helping us select medications more likely to work for your specific genetic profile. Not everyone needs this testing, but it's available when it makes sense.
Pharmacogenetic Testing When Helpful
Research consistently shows combined treatment—medication plus therapy—produces better outcomes than either alone for most conditions. Medication stabilizes brain chemistry while therapy teaches skills and addresses thought patterns. We coordinate both aspects of your care.
Medication Paired With Therapy
Mental health treatment isn't "prescribe and forget." We track your response, manage side effects, adjust dosages, and switch medications when needed. Regular follow-ups ensure treatment continues working as your symptoms and life circumstances change.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment

Board-Certified Psychiatrists
Our psychiatric providers hold advanced credentials, maintain board certification, and stay current with the latest research-backed treatments. Experience matters when diagnosing complex conditions.
You Make the Decisions
At Pediatric and Family Behavioral Health, we believe the best outcomes come from partnership. Our providers practice evidence-based psychiatry grounded in shared decision making, meaning you are an active participant in your care. We take time to review treatment options, explain benefits and risks, and answer your questions so you can make informed choices that align with your goals, values, and clinical needs. Together, we create personalized care plans designed to support lasting mental wellness.
Noticeable Improvements in Weeks, Not Months
Appropriate medication can provide noticeable symptom relief within weeks, helping you function better while therapy and lifestyle changes take effect.
Flexible and Convenient Appointment Times
We know that life doesn’t always fit into a 9–5 schedule, so we offer a variety of appointment times to meet your needs. With a large team of psychiatric providers across Charlotte and North Carolina, many of our clinicians offer early morning appointments as early as 8:00 a.m., and several provide late afternoon and early evening availability including times around 5:00 p.m. Whether
Pharmacogenetic Testing Available
Medication affects everyone differently. Pharmacogenetic testing helps guide treatment by showing how your genetics may influence medication response and side effects reducing trial and error and supporting more personalized prescribing.
At Pediatric and Family Behavioral Health, we offer testing through GeneSight as part of our evidence-based psychiatric care. Testing is billed to insurance, though coverage varies. GeneSight guarantees that for 2026, patient out-of-pocket costs will not exceed $330. Our team helps coordinate testing and reviews results with you to thoughtfully integrate them into your care plan.
Evidence-Based Treatment Standards
We follow proven clinical guidelines for psychiatric diagnosis and medication management, ensuring you receive care backed by research and medical consensus.

Depression & Mood Disorders
Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and bipolar disorder require accurate diagnosis and appropriate medication. We treat the full spectrum of mood conditions.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias, and separation anxiety respond well to psychiatric treatment, especially when medication reduces physical symptoms that fuel anxious thoughts.
ADHD Across the Lifespan
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder looks different in children, teens, and adults. Our psychiatrists diagnose ADHD accurately and prescribe medications that improve focus, impulse control, and executive functioning.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that disrupt daily life. Specific medications reduce OCD symptoms significantly when combined with exposure-based therapy.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD develops after traumatic events, causing flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbing. Psychiatric medication helps stabilize symptoms while trauma-focused therapy addresses underlying experiences.
Psychotic Disorders
Schizophrenia and other conditions involving hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking require specialized psychiatric medication and ongoing monitoring. We have experience managing complex psychotic conditions.
Eating Disorders
Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder involve psychological and medical components. Our psychiatrists address co-occurring depression, anxiety, and obsessive symptoms that fuel disordered eating.
