Our clinic is now a drop off site for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. We love the community we get to serve and are excited to be able to support this organization. I have been terrible with trying to get to the food pantry during drop off hours.

If you have an appointment in the Professional Building at 500 Holly Springs Road drop your donations off with us and the Food Cupboard will collaborate pick up. We appreciate all your support.

✨Kristi Barr is accepting new patients in network with Aetna, BCBS and UHC✨

Kristi currently has availability, with appointments as early Jan 5th. She sees kids 5-13 who have had a psychological assessment and all patients 14 and older. She has more than 10 years of experience providing medication management in a psychiatric setting. She developed first episode programs in PA for difficult mental health conditions.

Not everyone needs medications for mental health but if you have been on the fence about talking to someone, Kristi is fantastic.

Our mission across both practices is to provide compassionate, individualized care and to help people feel supported, informed, and hopeful about their treatment options.

Appointments with Kristi or consultations for spravato can be booked directly here: https://rbpw.intakeq.com/booking

The holidays can be beautiful and they can also be heavy. This season often brings financial stress, grief, loneliness, memories, and pressure to “be joyful.” If this time of year feels complicated, you’re not alone.

Please remember:
• You’re allowed to set boundaries.
• You’re allowed to rest.
• You’re allowed to feel however you feel.
• You are worthy of support, connection, and care—not just in the new year, but right now.

I thought we had big news with Kristi joining us. Towards the end of August we were invited to integrate with Awakenings Infusion Center. After careful consideration, we decided to move forward. We are thrilled to provide patients with more options for treatment resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety and other mental health conditions. This is a phenomenal opportunity for us.

There will be a period of adjustment while we transition to both systems. Kristi will be in person in Holly Springs next month to help facilitate the timely, compassionate care we value for those we serve.

Thank you to everyone who has helped this happen over the few years.

🧠 ADHD isn’t just about focus—it’s also about overwhelm, time blindness, emotional swings, and feeling misunderstood.
We support teens and adults with ADHD through thoughtful evaluation and medication support that meets real-life needs.
✨ It’s not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you thrive.

Exciting news from RBPW, we are growing! We are thrilled to announce Kristi has started for med management. Kristi is phenomenally compassionate and loves working in psychiatry. She is currently in network with Aetna and self-pay. Awaiting approval with United and BCBS. You can book a telehealth appointment directly on rbpw.org.

Life is quite an interesting journey. You never know when you meet someone what impact they will have. Kristi was the first non family member to meet Elijah. We worked together in PA. To this day, whenever I'm stumped clinically, she's my first call. I am incredibly grateful and excited to welcome her to the practice.

Hey all as we get more into the holiday season, I'm reflective on some of the challenges that can be faced.

For many people the holidays are a lonely, stressful, anxiety inducing time. They are anniversaries of people we loved, or the first year missing someone. Expectations of what family should be but isn't. This can be a really hard time of year.

If you are feeling alone, scared, hopeless. If you are considering a decision that can never be changed please reach out.
