‘Mental health … is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.’ (Noam Shpancer) Anee decided to join our practice after working several years in the community health sector private practice, and inpatient as well. She is originally from Cary, NC and completed her bachelor’s in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Human Biology from North Carolina State University. She then attended Wake Forest University School of Medicine – PA Studies to complete her graduate degree. She always knew her passion was working in psychiatry because she wants to overcome the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage those struggling to seek guidance from a professional. Having a mental health diagnosis is no different than any other chronic medical condition such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc.. She also understands that psychiatry does not have a one-size fits-all approach, and every individual’s treatment plan should be tailored to them in order to be effective, and thus enhance the overall well-being of the individual. Therefore, Anee focuses on a holistic and innovative approach to treating mental health that not only relies on medication, but also on natural remedies, therapy, lifestyle approaches, genetic testing, etc.. When Anee is not in the clinic, she enjoys reading books, exploring new places, hiking, and spending time with her dog, Peeku!

Glenn Robinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Gleen obtained his Bachelor of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and his Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I remember my now deceased mother telling me when I had just entered high school that "success without someone to share it with don't mean a damn thing." At the time I had just run for four touchdowns in a single game and swore my next stop was the NFL. This was the same woman who told me and my siblings that we could do anything we wanted in the world if we worked hard enough but I was grieved by her comments that my accomplishments were somehow "empty." Not until years later did I understand the true meaning of success. It means Knowing God, knowing what He desires for my life. Growing to my maximum potential and sowing seeds that will benefit others. Armed with this I have been blessed with the opportunity to demonstrate this as a son, father, husband, brother, friend, neighbor, social worker and Christian. Since these opportunities all came at different times in life I have had to re-evaluate, reinvent and repent for some poor choices but mostly for failing to remember it's about achieving greatness together. My job is to help others to get what they want in this life as long as it doesn't cause any harm and is a blessing to others.
