Center for Psychiatry and Mental Wellness

As the region's only Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, we are committed to providing WNC residents with high-quality comprehensive care regardless of financial circumstances. We are located on MAHEC's Biltmore Campus and provide comprehensive psychiatric and behavioral health services for children, adolescents, and adults.

New Patient Referrals

At present, we are experiencing a high volume of new patients, so we are not currently able to accept any external referrals. If you are an established MAHEC patient and would like to receive care, please ask your MAHEC provider to refer you to the Psychiatry office. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working to add additional providers to the practice so we can resume accepting referrrals soon!
