Meet Your Mental Health Partners at Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness Hello, I'm Afi Kpakossou, PMHNP-BC, founder and owner of Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness. Along with my colleague Fred Amematsro, PMHNP-BC, we're board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners dedicated to making quality mental health care accessible to everyone across North Carolina. Our Journey I started Pinnacle Behavioral Health with a vision to break down the barriers that often prevent people from getting the mental health support they deserve. Too many individuals struggle in silence because traditional therapy feels inaccessible, inconvenient, or intimidating. That's why we built our practice around telepsychiatry - bringing expert psychiatric care directly to you, wherever you feel most comfortable. Our Specializations We provide comprehensive treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions, with particular expertise in: ADHD in both adults and children Depression and anxiety disorders Bipolar disorder and mood stabilization PTSD and trauma recovery Substance abuse and addiction recovery Autism spectrum support Weight management and eating disorders What sets us apart is our unique growth therapy approach - we don't just treat symptoms, we focus on helping you build resilience, develop coping strategies, and create lasting positive change in your life. The Meaningful Impact We Create Every day, we witness the transformation that happens when someone finally gets the right support. Whether it's a parent who can better connect with their ADHD child, a professional who learns to manage their anxiety, or someone overcoming depression to rediscover their joy - these moments remind us why we do this work. Our telepsychiatry model means you can access care from your living room, your office during lunch break, or anywhere you have a private moment. No more waiting weeks for appointments, no more driving across town, no more choosing between your mental health and your other responsibilities. Your Journey Starts Here We believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. That's why we offer same-day appointments and start every potential relationship with a complimentary 10-minute consultation. This isn't just about us getting to know you - it's about you feeling confident that we're the right fit for your mental health journey. At Pinnacle Behavioral Health, you're not just another appointment on our schedule. You're a whole person with unique experiences, challenges, and goals. We're here to walk alongside you as you discover your strength, resilience, and path to wellness. Ready to take the first step?
