Why Prism
Prism Wellness was built differently.
No one gets through life without difficulty. Some of it we learn to manage on our own. Some of it brings us to the point of realizing we should not be carrying it by ourselves.
We are a specialty practice made up primarily of fully licensed clinicians, many of them with experience in higher levels of care before this, each with advanced training and a specific area of focus. The whole team meets for an hour and a half every week to consult on cases, so the thinking behind your care is never one person's alone.
The field has grown quickly, and that growth has left a lot of places where care feels rushed or impersonal. We built this one the other way. The Cary office has lamps instead of overhead lights, slippers by the door, and more plants than a waiting room strictly needs. Small things. People notice them.
Our goal is to make the process easier. If we are not the right fit for what you need, we will do everything we can to connect you with someone who is.
Areas of specialty
What we help with
Every link below is a real service with named clinicians behind it. Start wherever your situation fits best — Tori will sort out the rest with you.
Anxiety therapy
Worry that will not switch off, panic, and the exhaustion of being on alert when nothing is wrong. One of the most treatable things we work with.
Depression therapy
Low mood, flatness, and the weight that makes ordinary days hard, including depression that has not responded to past treatment.
Trauma and PTSD therapy
Care for what happened to you, at your pace, from clinicians trained to work with trauma without making you relive it.
Military and first responder therapy
For service members, veterans, and the people who take the call. Sleep, hypervigilance, grief, and the transition out.
ADHD therapy
Focus, time, organization, and the self-worth that takes a beating after years of struggling. For adults, teens and kids. We do not do formal ADHD testing.
Child and adolescent therapy
Play therapy and sandtray for children from 4, and talk therapy for teens from 13, with parents kept in the loop.
Eating disorder treatment
Weight-neutral, all-foods-fit care for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and ARFID, coordinated with your dietitian and medical provider.
Self-esteem therapy
The inner critic, the people-pleasing, and the sense of never quite being enough.
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
Identity, gender, minority stress and everyday mental health. The whole practice is affirming, and several clinicians specialize in this work.
EMDR therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps the brain reprocess memories that are still firing. Eight of our clinicians are EMDR trained.
Mindfulness-based therapy
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): practiced skills that settle a stressed nervous system.
Substance use and addiction therapy
Outpatient therapy for alcohol, drugs and behavioral addictions, including harm reduction and the anxiety or depression sitting underneath.
Ketamine-assisted therapy
Preparation, medicine sessions and integration, guided by a therapist trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and alongside a prescribing medical provider.
How ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works
A plain guide to KAP: what it is, how it differs from IV ketamine infusions, side effects, safety, and how to tell whether it is worth asking about.
Everyone arrives with something different
Most people bring more than one thing. Our clinicians carry different specialties on purpose, so you are matched to experience rather than to whoever has an opening.
Getting started
Three steps, and the first one is a phone call
You do not need a referral, a diagnosis, or a plan. You need about ten minutes.
Curiosity
Contact our care coordinator, Tori. She asks about what is going on and what you are looking for, then matches you with the therapist best suited to it.
Connection
Meet that therapist for a free 15-minute consultation. If it is not the right fit, say so. We would rather find you the right person than keep you.
Cultivation
Start sessions, in person at the Cary office or by secure telehealth, and get to work on the thing you came in for.
Our team
The people you would be working with
Twelve clinicians, each with their own training and focus. Eight are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). One is a master’s-level intern who sees clients on a self-pay basis. Tori will tell you who has openings and who fits what you are bringing.
Insurance and cost
What this costs, plainly

“The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves… People can never heal themselves without knowing what they know and feeling what they feel.”
