When we expanded our services to Chapel Hill, we weren’t just adding another location; we were creating something different—something better. Our vision for psychiatry in Chapel Hill goes beyond standard care. It’s about offering a deeply integrated, accessible, and patient-centered approach that supports the entire community, from students and professionals to families navigating life’s challenges.

Why Chapel Hill?
Chapel Hill is a vibrant and diverse community that thrives on connection. It’s a place where students are finding their footing, professionals are balancing career and personal growth, and families are seeking balance in an ever-changing world. But even in a town so full of opportunity, finding high-quality, accessible mental health care can be a challenge.
By bringing psychiatry and other mental health services to Chapel Hill, we aim to fill this gap. Whether you’re a UNC student overwhelmed by coursework, a young professional managing stress, or someone looking for support with anxiety, depression, or life transitions, we want to be the place where you find the help you need. However, we’re not just content to be the place you find help. We want to be a place you have the best outcomes. We think those best outcomes come from balancing three things: Provider-Focused Culture, Prioritizing Patients, Supporting our Employees.
A Provider-Focused Culture
Mental health care starts with the people delivering it. We believe that happy, supported providers deliver the best care, which is why we’ve made provider satisfaction a top priority.
At our Chapel Hill location, we create an environment where psychiatrists and therapists can focus on forming meaningful connections with their patients. This means realistic caseloads, more time in sessions, ample administrative support, and opportunities for professional growth. We want our providers to feel empowered to do their best work while avoiding burnout. After all, when providers thrive, patients thrive.
Prioritizing Patients
Patients often feel like they’re just another number in a crowded system. We’re here to change that. At our Chapel Hill office, you’ll find mental health care that’s as personal as it is professional.
Our psychiatry services are designed to fit your life—not disrupt it. With personalized treatment plans, the ability to combine therapy and psychiatry, and easy access to care both in person and via telehealth, we’re removing barriers so you can focus on your wellbeing.
Mental health challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. We’re here to listen, support, and help you find a path forward that works for you.
Supporting Our Employees
A great workplace doesn’t just happen—it’s built on values and care for the people who make it run. At our Chapel Hill location, we prioritize creating a healthy, collaborative culture for every member of our team.
From patient care coordinators who ensure your experience is seamless to the billing specialists who handle the details, every employee is part of what makes our care exceptional. By supporting our staff with the resources and balance they need, we ensure they can focus on what matters most—your care.
Being Values Driven
At the core of everything we do is a commitment to our values. We believe that care should be compassionate, evidence-based, and accessible. Our approach is grounded in three guiding principles:
- Prioritizing Connection: Whether it’s between providers and patients, employees and leadership, or our team and the Chapel Hill community, connection is at the heart of effective care.
- Pursuing Excellence: Mental health care is always evolving, and we’re committed to staying at the forefront of research and innovation to provide the best possible outcomes.
- Fostering Growth: We’re not just here to help people overcome challenges—we want to help them thrive. For us, this means creating opportunities for our patients, providers, and employees to grow and reach their full potential.
These values shape every decision we make and every interaction we have, ensuring that our care is not just effective but meaningful.
In-Network Care:Balancing Accessibility and Quality
One of the biggest challenges in mental health care is making it affordable without sacrificing quality. At AIM, we’re committed to being in-network with major insurance providers so that cost doesn’t stand in the way of getting the care you need.
Being in-network means we can offer high-quality psychiatry, therapy, and other mental health services at rates that work for our community. It’s not always easy to balance accessibility with the level of care we’re proud to deliver, but we believe it’s essential. Everyone deserves access to exceptional mental health care, and we’re here to make that possible.
Why Integrated Care Matters
Mental health is complex, and effective treatment requires more than just medication or a weekly therapy session. At our Chapel Hill office, we take an integrated approach to care. This means combining psychiatry for biological needs and therapy for emotional and psychological support.
This holistic model doesn’t just treat symptoms—it addresses the whole person. By bringing these services together under one roof, we make it easier for you to get the comprehensive care you need, when you need it.
A New Vision for Mental Health in Chapel Hill
At AIM, we’re not just offering psychiatry and mental health care—we’re creating a system that works for everyone involved. By prioritizing our providers, supporting our employees, and focusing on what’s best for our patients, we’re redefining what mental health care can look like.
Chapel Hill deserves care that’s accessible, innovative, and deeply rooted in compassion. Whether you’re managing a specific condition or simply looking for support in navigating life’s challenges, we’re here to help.
