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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wilmington

Finding psychiatrists in Wilmington starts with understanding the type of care that fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and skill-based support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, a prescriber may be part of your care plan. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both depending on what they want support for.

In a smaller city like Wilmington, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in a large metro area, so virtual appointments can expand your choices across North Carolina. Psychiatric care often follows a different schedule than therapy: medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than weekly therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some coordinate with therapists when a person works with both types of specialists. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and the concerns listed in their bio so you can choose someone whose experience matches what you are looking for.

Psychiatric care in Wilmington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan, see which clinicians are accepting new patients, and view availability in one place. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
