As of the date above, Mindful Counseling & Wellness is accepting new patients, and new patients are typically seen within 1–3 business days. Care is delivered by telehealth anywhere in North Carolina.

This page exists because the question referring providers actually ask is not “are they good?” but “can they actually see my patient?” Psychiatric access being what it is, we’d rather publish the answer and keep it current than make you call to find out. We review this page monthly; the “last updated” date above is the freshness guarantee.

What “1–3 business days” means

  • It is the typical time from first contact to a scheduled first appointment — not a contractual guarantee. If capacity changes, this page changes first.
  • It applies to new-patient psychiatric evaluations (adults, statewide NC, telehealth).
  • Psychiatric emergencies should never wait for an outpatient intake — direct patients to call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
