As the caterpillar transforms to a beautiful butterfly, there is potential in each of us to grow. 

One of the greatest misconceptions is that a person suffering a mental illness should be removed from their community and placed in a mental institution.  The fact is, today most people can lead productive lives due to a variety of supports, programs, and/or medications.

Le'Chris has been providing quality mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults in eastern North Carolina since 1996.  Mental illness is an equal opportunity disease that can impact people without regard to race, gender, age, or income. 

At Le'Chris, our philosophy is that each individual we serve be afforded the right to maintain dignity, respect, and the highest quality of life.

Our programs are based on the needs of our consumers and their families.  We have the experience, knowledge and personal commitment to create services that are respectful, empowering, and effective.

We believe that "All Things Are Possible" and strive to make sure that every consumer we serve is free to live their lives and pursue their dreams beyond the limitations of mental illness or developmental disability.

Most of the services offered by Le'Chris are covered by Medicaid; however, some offices accept Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and TriCare for therapy and physician services.

Le'Chris can also help those with no insurance apply for limited state funding for some services.  Please call your local office for additional information.
