During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health.

Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

My name is Surayyah James, and I’m a board-certified nurse practitioner in psychiatry. Every person’s story matters, and I’m here to listen, support, and guide you as you work toward greater understanding and peace of mind. My practice is rooted in compassion and respect, offering a thoughtful blend of medication management, therapy, and mindfulness—all tailored to what truly works for you
As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where individuals, teens, and couples feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just trying to find a clearer path forward—therapy can be a powerful place to reconnect with yourself and your goals.
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.
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.

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.
