My background is in all aspects of mental health and substance abuse.
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.
Hello, I’m Tamara Neely, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals of all ages live healthier, more balanced lives. With a strong clinical background and years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to your unique needs.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and autism spectrum-related concerns, with a particular focus on working with children, teens, and young adults. Whether you're seeking a new diagnosis, medication management, or ongoing psychiatric support, I’m here to walk that path with you.
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.
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 believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham
Finding the right psychiatrist in Durham starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.
Durham has a large mental health provider community, but narrowing your search can still take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, someone who offers virtual appointments, or a prescriber located near your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Durham can be expensive without insurance. 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.
