Comprehensive Psychiatry in Durham, North Carolina

In an era of rushed appointments and algorithmic medicine, we take a different approach. We begin by listening. We believe good psychiatric care starts with understanding you as a whole person — your history, your temperament, your strengths, and the challenges that brought you here.

 

Wellness First Psychiatric Associates (WFPA) is a fee-for-service psychiatry and therapy practice in Durham, North Carolina, dedicated to thoughtful, individualized mental health care.
