My Journey to Psychiatry

After 22 years as a registered nurse, I’ve stopped trying to explain how I ended up here. I just say “psychiatry chose me.”
That choice started long before nursing school ended, with a family member on the autism spectrum, and a front-row seat to how much right support can change a life, and how much damage the wrong support (or none at all) can do.
That experience is the reason I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all psychiatry. Every person who sits across from me or logs into a telehealth call with me gets a treatment plan built around their actual life, not a diagnosis code.
Mental wellness isn’t a finish line. It’s a practice. My job isn’t to hand you a prescription and send you on your way; it’s to walk the road with you until clarity feels less like a destination and more like your default state.

What Treatment at Clarity Connect Looks Like

Every plan starts with genuinely understanding you, and it keeps adjusting as your life does.

Thorough Psychiatric Assessments

Every visit starts with genuinely getting to know you, your history, your patterns, and what’s really going on beneath the symptom that brought you in. From there, we build a plan made for you.

Initial consultation
In-depth diagnostic assessment
Personalized treatment planning
Ongoing follow-up care

Evidence-Based Medication Management

When medication is part of your plan, we take it slow and steady, starting conservatively, watching closely, and adjusting based on how you respond.

Thoughtful medication optimization
Ongoing side-effect monitoring
Consistent follow-up scheduling
Genetic testing when it can guide better decisions

Telehealth Consultations

Quality psychiatric care, wherever you feel most comfortable—home, work, or anywhere in between.

100% HIPAA-compliant platform
Flexible scheduling around your life
Licensed to treat patients across North Carolina

Real Stories of Healing & Hope

Hear from individuals who found clarity and healing through our care

I was nervous about doing therapy over video, honestly. But Dr. During made it feel normal within the first ten minutes. I've been seeing her for six months now, and I actually look forward to our appointments.

Mallory Jensen

Finally found someone who doesn't rush through appointments. She listens, asks follow-up questions, and actually remembers what we talked about last time. That matters more than I expected it to.

Curtis Holloway

I put off getting help for depression for probably three years too long. Wish I'd started sooner; the whole process was a lot easier than I'd built it up to be in my head.

Trevor Callahan

The medication management here is thorough. No rushing to prescribe something and hoping for the best. We talked through the options, the side effects, and what to actually expect. Still adjusting things, but I trust the process.

Kelsey Donovan

Dr. During has a way of explaining things without making you feel like a diagnosis. I've left every appointment understanding myself a little better than when I walked in.

Derek Whitmore

Booking was simple, insurance got sorted out before my first visit, and appointments actually start on time. Small things, but they add up when you're already stretched thin.

FAQs

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist here?

No referral needed. You can book directly; most patients are seen within the same week.

What happens during my first appointment?

Your first session is a full diagnostic evaluation; we'll talk through your history, symptoms, and goals so we can build a treatment plan that's actually built for you, not a template.

Do you offer therapy or only medication management?

Our focus is psychiatric evaluation and medication management. We're happy to collaborate with your existing therapist or refer you to one if you don't have one yet.

Is telehealth actually as effective as an in-person visit?

For most psychiatric care, yes. Research consistently shows telehealth outcomes are comparable to in-person visits for medication management and ongoing care, with the added benefit of consistency and convenience.

Do you accept insurance?

We verify your insurance benefits before your first visit so there are no surprises. Reach out and our team will confirm your coverage directly.

Is everything I share confidential?

Yes. All sessions are HIPAA-compliant, and your information is protected under the same confidentiality standards as any in-person psychiatric practice.
