High quality mental health care shouldn’t be hard to find.
Unfortunately, that’s not the reality for many people. As someone who has faced mental health challenges for most of my life, I know exactly how difficult it can be to find a good provider when you really need one. Someone who makes you feel seen and safe, who actually listens to your concerns, who takes time to explain your treatment options and answer your questions. Someone who actually cares and acknowledges you as the complex, deep person that you are instead of just another name on a chart.
Looking for something better?
Hi, I’m Dr. Rani Busbee, a neurodivergent (AuDHDer!), queer Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP; with my Doctorate in Nursing Practice [DNP]), and owner of Redefining Balance Integrative Psychiatric Care LLC, and I make it a priority to provide the highest level of care to each and every one of my patients!
If all you want is a provider who sends in your prescriptions and calls it a day, I’m not the right fit for you. I utilize a holistic and integrative approach when it comes to treatment options. Every patient is unique and I consider multiple factors that other providers might overlook when creating your personalized treatment plan. I offer convenient, 100% virtual appointments for patients residing in North Carolina. Please note that I am not able to prescribe any controlled substances, including stimulants and benzodiazepines.
Your search ends here!
I specialize in working with fellow neurodivergent/queer people (sometimes, it helps having a provider that’s like you), as well as those who are hesitant to start or change their medication(s), and those who have had poor experiences with mental health care providers in the past. Whether you’re looking to get a comprehensive or specific evaluation, wanting to to find a better provider or get a second opinion, struggling with mental health challenges that just aren’t improving/wanting to understand yourself on a deeper level, or seeking a more holistic way of treating your symptoms, I offer a variety of services to support you on your journey!
