Colby Ballard – PA-C

Board Certified Psychiatric Physician Assistant

Colby Ballard, PA-C is a board-certified Psychiatric Physician Assistant who earned his Master’s degree from Campbell University and his undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University. A North Carolina native, he grew up in the western part of the state, just north of Asheville.

Colby provides care to patients of all ages and has experience in diverse settings, including outpatient clinics, group homes, and assisted living facilities. He takes a holistic approach to mental health care, considering not only a patient’s immediate concerns but also their lifestyle, support system, daily routines, sleep habits, and exercise regimen. He believes that while medication can be an important tool, many aspects of mental well-being can be improved through natural interventions alongside pharmacotherapy.

Outside of work, Colby enjoys staying active by going to the gym and playing hockey. He also appreciates spending time with his boxer-lab mix, Maple, exploring local coffee shops, gaming, and streaming his favourite shows.
