About Foothills Consulting and Associates

Foothills Consulting Associates is an outpatient psychiatric practice in Shelby, North Carolina, that treats a range of mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders. Their care is individualized: clinicians take time to listen to each person’s concerns and build a treatment plan around them, with the aim of helping patients recognize their own strengths and move forward from painful experiences. Addiction services include substance abuse counseling and treatment, with options specifically for opiate addiction.

Their addiction work targets the thinking, behavioral, and spiritual patterns that keep substance use going, which can help people who are also dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma. The practice also offers counseling for trauma and PTSD, including support through grief, as well as treatment for depression and anxiety. For people with treatment-resistant depression, they provide SPRAVATO (esketamine) nasal spray, which requires a referral from a current provider and at least two hours of monitoring after each dose. Their care team handles insurance calls and paperwork for this treatment, which many major insurers cover.
