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.

Are you tired of being a prisoner to your own negative thoughts, trying everything to ease your sadness and frustration, but feel like you are going in circles? Maybe you've tried self-help books, talking to friends, staying busy, but to no avail. Have you gone through something recently or in the past, which was traumatic and painful, where you feel like keeping to yourself is safest, and doing whatever you can to not get hurt again? Maybe you feel unsure about the world, anxious, unmotivated, and don't know why.


Imagine what it would be like to wake up and not feel so anxious, and able to combat nagging, negative beliefs. Whether you have depression or anxiety, stemming from traumatic experiences or chronic illness, imagine being able to gain strength to gently put these experiences into perspective, and move on about your day.


Let me provide you with healing techniques and tools which I have utilized with many clients. Free yourself from the past and finally find "you" again. OR, let me help you find the new YOU. I offer free phone consultations, as having conversation over the phone with your clinician first, could put you at ease. Don't delay your peace, reach out now.

Find the right therapist 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 an Anxiety Therapist in Wake Forest, NC

Searching for therapists in Wake Forest starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address in care. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Wake Forest therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Wake Forest has local therapy options, and the broader Wake County area can add more choices. Since local appointment openings may vary, virtual therapy can make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule and focus fit what you need. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers in-person or virtual appointments, has appointment times that work for your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.

Therapy in Wake Forest can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
