Welcome to Conscious Evolution! I’m Phyllis Sage Atwell, a psychiatrist with more than 30 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate challenges and create meaningful change. I trained at UNC Chapel Hill for medical school and residency and I did a fellowship in Child and Adolescent with a focus on adolescence at The University of Maryland.

At Conscious Evolution, I offer a virtual only, fee-for-service practice focused on Lifestyle Psychiatry. This involves looking beyond symptoms and focusing on the whole person - integrating sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, stress management and exploring habits that interfere with optimal health alongside psychotherapy and medication.

Whether you are navigating a challenging diagnosis or seeking to optimize your mental health and well being, I will partner with you in a journey of growth, healing and conscious transformation.

Telehealth sessions will be offered to people in North Carolina who are ready to share their story and do the work of making healthy lifestyle changes with the guidance of an experienced psychiatrist.

My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized care that facilitates growth with awareness, balance and purpose. If you’re seeking a psychiatrist who values collaboration, depth, and a holistic approach, I invite you to begin your journey here. Let’s work together to help you heal and thrive.
