Ever feel like your brain just won't cooperate? You know what you need to do, but you can't make yourself do it. You lose things, forget things, start projects you never finish — and you've probably been told to just try harder.
That gets old.
I'm Rodney. I'm a board-certified PMHNP and I work exclusively with adults who think they might have ADHD — or who already know they do and need a provider who actually gets it. ADHD is all I do, which means I'm not guessing.
I'll be straight with you: I talk to my patients like people, not cases. I want to know what your life actually looks like — your job, your relationships, what's driving you crazy — because that's how we figure out what's going to help.
I'm a veteran, and if that's part of your story too, you'll feel that in how I communicate. Direct, no fluff, no runaround.
I see adults across all of North Carolina via telehealth, seven days a week. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, just reach out.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Raleigh, NC
Finding psychiatrists in Raleigh starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be one part of your care. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on what you are looking for.
Raleigh has a range of behavioral health options across the city, from central neighborhoods to nearby areas around Cary, Wake Forest, and Garner. As you compare psychiatrists, consider appointment availability, whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s clinical focus, communication style, and approach before you book.
Psychiatric care in Raleigh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, lets you check insurance compatibility, and offer direct booking, so you can compare profiles, review availability, and schedule a psychiatry appointment when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
