Welcome To Cary Behavioral Health

TMS Therapy

NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression. It is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).

ADHD

During adulthood, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can have a strong impact on your work life and how you interact with others.

PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arises after exposure to some traumatic event from your past, often something in childhood.

Depression

Depression is one of many mood disorders that alter your emotional state.

Joana Lule, PA-C

She feels that it is an honor to meet each patient where they are, with openness, kindness, and centering their individual experiences, goals, and values in their care.

Joana grew up in Upstate New York and received her bachelors in Anthropology from Cornell University in New York while completing her pre-medical curriculum.

Testimonials

Ethan Holland

I’ve went to so many clinics for mental health and nothing worse than going to somewhere and being open and honest and just because you have a past with self medicating that doesn’t mean the issues aren’t actually there and for the first time in about 11 years I finally found a doctor that is willing to work we me and genuinely wants to help Joanna and even the front desk staff were extremely nice and invested in getting me back right I would recommend this psychiatry office over any of the 20 different ones I’ve been to the others over the years and finally a psyciatrist that thinks of my well being vs just seeing me as my past it’s a blessing to finally have some hope I haven’t had it in a long time

Dr Bajwa explains several options for treating depression. I chose TMS in addition to my medication. The treatment went very well. I couldn't sleep before & now I can. I have more energy & feel better. Stephanie has a lot of experience running TMS & everyone is very friendly & helpful. I highly recommend them if you need mental health help

Let me start by saying Tanya and rest of the lady's at the front desk are simply amazing!!! So kind so thoughtful so helpful!! Dr Bajwa is quite an amazing doctor!! He is very smart and knowledgeable about any situation you're going through honestly!! He was so kind and thoughtful!! Loved his personality!! He listens and understands my situation!! Made me comfortable enough to talk about things that's happened to me and I have told only one other doctor in 64 years of my life about some deep rooted personal things not thinking when I went in that day I would be speaking of any of that but that's how comfortable Dr Bajwa made me feel!! I truly appreciate him and his staff for helping me start to get my mental status on the right track!!! So if you're going through struggles with your middle status I sincerely advise you to get this man a chance you will not regret it he will help you get your life on track in a healthy way!! I think everyone from Cary Behavioral Health❤️ God Bless 🙌

Very friendly and caring staff. Especially Stephanie who took her time to help me with logging onto the portal I was having a very difficult time. She was so kind and patient with me. I’m not very good with my phone or computers. She graciously went through every detail to help me. She’s a great asset to the practice.
