Danielle Emerson

Danielle Emerson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

Christina Miller

Christina Miller

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.

My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.

I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.

I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.

You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.

Amy Drozda

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’ve been practicing therapy for 25 years, which has included 12 years in NC and prior practice in both Kansas and New Mexico. I’ve worked in community mental health most of my career so I’ve had the opportunity to serve all ages and provide treatment for a huge variety of mental health concerns. I’m pretty down to Earth, open, honest, and genuine. I can be direct when needed to help bring awareness or light to a potential problem area while at the same time me providing support and encouragement. I enjoy hearing people’s life stories and helping individuals navigate their way through difficult life situations and problematic symptoms. No judgment, just a person available to help you find what you need.

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 Raleigh

Finding ADHD therapists in Raleigh starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, organization, planning, and emotional regulation. Medication management is different and is provided by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for a psychiatrist for ADHD, and some work with both. Adult ADHD therapy and support for children or teens can also involve different experience, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age, goals, and concerns like focus, impulsivity, time management, or school and work demands.

Raleigh has a strong mental health care community, with options across the city and nearby areas like Cary, Wake Forest, and Garner. Your search may include in-person appointments near home, work, or campus, as well as virtual sessions that add flexibility when local schedules are limited. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep challenges, or stress, so it can help to look for a therapist with experience in more than one area. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on their approach, session style, ADHD experience, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare profiles, review availability, 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.
