About
The Alchemy Institute is here to help you or your loved ones with mental health care. We offer virtual psychiatric medication management across North Carolina, so you can get the support you need from home. We work with adults and children (ages 6 and up) who are dealing with different mental health challenges.
Our approach mixes medical expertise with practical, whole-person care so you get the right tools and treatments for real life. We start with a thorough assessment so your story gets time and attention. We integrate both medication management and brief supportive therapy during follow-up visits to support your mental health.
We also offer ADHD evaluation and diagnosis. We offer integrative psychiatry recommendations, lab testing, and pharmacogenetic testing. This testing helps us choose safer and more effective medicines.

Our goal is to remove barriers to care by offering practical, compassionate, and personalized support for every individual, no matter their background or circumstances. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and empowered on their journey to mental wellness.
Culture
We provide comprehensive, whole-person mental health care that blends medication management with integrative theories that support the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Our mission is to empower individuals on their path to long-term mental wellness through compassionate, personalized, and whole-person care.
MEET THE OWNER
Tabitha Bowman, PMHNP, PMH-C
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Perinatal Mental Health Certified
The reason I became a psychiatric provider isn't just because I studied or found the brain fascinating. It’s because I’ve lived through the pain, the confusion, and the silence that so often surround mental health and addiction.​
​
I grew up witnessing the struggles of addiction and mental illness in my own family. My teenage years were difficult, filled with my own battles and questions I didn’t always have answers for. My father lost his life to an overdose. My brother, who I loved deeply, died by suicide. These losses shaped me profoundly, they left scars, yes, but also a burning drive to understand, to heal, and to help others find a way through.
​
I know what it's like to feel broken, to feel helpless, and to feel like no one understands. And that’s exactly why I sit across from you, not to judge, not to fix you, but to walk with you. To let you know that you are not alone. That your story matters. That healing is possible, even when it doesn't feel that way.
​
This work is personal to me. Every person I meet reminds me why I chose this path, to honor those I’ve lost, to support those who are still here, and to be the kind of person I wish my family had.
