About Behavior Care, PLLC

Where Compassion Meets Clinical Excellence

At Behavior Care, we believe mental health care should be more than a service—it should be a safe place to land. A place where your whole self is welcomed, healing is possible, and you’re seen, heard, and valued—not just as a patient, but as a person.

We are a full-service, counselor-owned practice offering therapy, psychiatric care, and telehealth services for individuals, couples, and families across North Carolina.

Founded on a mission to restore hope and foster healing, we provide care that is clinically sound, culturally responsive, spiritually sensitive, and deeply compassionate.

Our Mission

To provide trusted, whole-person behavioral health care to those navigating life’s toughest challenges—through a model of excellence rooted in compassion, dignity, and unwavering respect.

Our Vision

We envision a community where mental health is normalized, therapy is accessible, and healing is offered without judgment—a place where people of all backgrounds feel empowered to live fuller, freer lives.

What Makes Us Different?

We are counselor-led: Founded by David Pate, our practice is built by clinicians who understand the client experience—and what high-quality care should look like.

We support faith, identity, and culture: We offer both faith-based counseling and identity-supportive therapy that meet you where you are—without judgment.
We know recovery is a journey: whether you’re navigating relapse, starting fresh, or rebuilding trust, we offer real help without shame, especially for those overcoming addiction.
