As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.
I'm so glad you are here! I have 7 years of experience in psychiatry with a total of 20 years in nursing. I work with those aged 6 and older. I thrive on working closely with my client in setting goals and helping achieve relief of symptoms.
With a nursing career spanning since 2008, I have dedicated over 15 years to understanding the complexities of patient care. After earning my Master’s Degree in 2021, I transitioned into advanced psychiatric practice in 2022. Having served in both fast-paced inpatient units and collaborative outpatient clinics, I offer a well-rounded perspective on mental health. My background allows me to blend clinical expertise with a deeply rooted compassion for the human experience.
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
I promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, adults and families.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cornelius
Finding the right psychiatrist in Cornelius, NC starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option to consider. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, a psychiatric provider may be the right fit.
Cornelius is a smaller community within the Lake Norman area, so your search may also include providers in Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, or Charlotte. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or practices close to home. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry sessions can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
