Getting Started
If you’re interested in becoming a new patient, the first step is to complete our New Patient Intake Screening. We receive a lot of inquiries and this screener helps us to streamline the process to ensure that we’re an appropriate fit for your needs. Based on the information you provide, we may reach out with questions, add you to our schedule/waitlist, or send along alternate referrals.
Check out our FAQ section below. If you have any other questions about our services you can call us at (919) 808-2318 or email us at info@bullcityanxiety.com.
