Hampstead Therapy and Wellness

Hampstead Therapy and Wellness is a trusted mental health counseling practice serving Hampstead, Wilmington, Jacksonville, Surf City, Holly Ridge, and surrounding coastal North Carolina communities. Our team, including Holly Giarratano, LCMHC, Shannon Aiken, LCSW, and James Manning, MD, provides compassionate, evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns through both in-person and secure telehealth appointments.

We use the Collaborative Care Model of treatment. It’s a team-based, interdisciplinary approach built to treat behavioral and medical issues together. Our team includes a psychologist/licensed professional therapist who performs therapy and case management, a primary care provider who prescribes and monitors medications and medical issues, and a consulting psychiatrist. 

This model was developed at the University of Washington and has since been replicated throughout the country. It has been extensively studied and consistently provides exceptional results as measured through patient and provider satisfaction and improved patient outcomes.

At Hampstead Therapy and Wellness, we put patients’ overall health and mental well-being first. We understand that mental and behavioral conditions are closely intertwined with medical issues, so we treat all of these health aspects together. We will work closely with patients to develop a treatment plan that fits their individualized needs.
