Kriya Lendzion

Kriya Lendzion

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Are you questioning your relationship with substances or other behaviors, and want to make changes?

Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them towards healthier decisions, or they’re interested in shifting their use?

Would you like support with creating family screen guidelines that keep your kids healthy, safe, and responsible, while reducing battles over it all?

Are you disconnected from your adolescent and eager for "teen whispering" skills to improve your relationship?

Then I’ve got you!

In the middle of college, at 19, I found myself in rehab, struggling with multiple addictions. This rerouted me from my dreams of Broadway to sparking a 30+ year career in the fields of prevention, early intervention and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment with adolescents and adults, in therapeutic schools, as a middle and high school counselor, and as a parenting coach.

I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Prevention Specialist, and certified in Digital Health & Wellness. It's also important you know that my own family and close social circle are diverse humans, and I'm comfortable and specially trained to work with LGBTQ+, racial, cultural and religious diversity.

Rodney Wike

Rodney Wike

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Lenoir, NC


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.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


In today’s world, it can be difficult to find the time and energy to slow down and make sense of what has brought you here.

We live with constant demands and expectations that our minds and bodies were never designed to sustain at such a rapid pace. Maybe you find yourself reacting from a place of overwhelm, becoming defensive without intending to, or pushing through exhaustion just to check the next box on an ever-growing list. Perhaps struggles from your past continue to show up in your present, leaving you wondering, “Why am I still dealing with this?” or “Shouldn’t I be over this by now?” If so, I want you to know that it doesn’t have to stay this way, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I am a therapist, but I am also a person who has experienced hardship, loss, and self-criticism. I understand what it feels like to be stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I partner with adults who are ready to heal from past wounds, deepen their self-understanding, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, emotional reactivity, or feelings of disconnection and withdrawal. Together, we work to understand your nervous system, build practical regulation skills, and gently process painful or unresolved experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based (IFS), integrating EMDR and traditional talk therapy to meet your unique needs.

Choosing to begin therapy takes courage, often more than people realize. While healing can be challenging, it is also deeply rewarding. Sometimes caring for yourself means doing difficult work now so that life feels more manageable later. I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
