Cynthia Burman

Therapist

Virtual • Durham, NC


I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.

I believe healing happens through both insight and action. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I, Ifeoma Okani, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, OCD, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addiction. Many of my clients are juggling multiple roles and seek a safe, culturally sensitive space where they feel truly heard and understood. Their goal isn’t just to feel better but to reconnect with themselves, heal from past pain, and thrive emotionally. They want personalized, compassionate care that supports meaningful growth, not just symptom relief. I help by providing a safe, culturally sensitive space where you’ll feel heard and supported. Using compassionate, evidence-based care, I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy tailored to your needs. In our early sessions, we’ll build trust, explore your concerns, and create a personalized plan to support your healing. My practice is unique because I focus not only on symptom relief but on helping clients reconnect with themselves, heal deeply, and thrive long-term. I’m passionate about supporting others so they never feel alone in their struggles. I am committed to providing the support, insight, and clinical expertise you need to restore your peace and well-being.

Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Charlotte

Searching for ADHD therapists in Charlotte starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, or support with organization and follow-through. Medication management is different and is handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are searching for an adult ADHD therapist, a therapist for a child, or ADHD counseling for a teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their experience matches your needs.

Charlotte has many mental health care options, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. In-person therapy may be useful if you prefer a local office near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across North Carolina and make scheduling easier. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain, so it can help to look for therapists specializing in ADHD and any related concerns you want to address. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists in Charlotte who are accepting new patients, compare in-person and virtual availability, and enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapist profiles, confirm fit through a free phone consultation when available, and book directly when you’re 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.
