Jullee Capshaw

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

Rodney Wike

Rodney Wike

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


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


Hello, I provide virtual mental health therapy to teens and adults across North Carolina. With nine years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate a wide range of social and emotional challenges.

I LOVE being a therapist! It brings immense joy to support clients during their lowest moments and witness their transformation into healthier, more empowered versions of themselves. The resilience of my clients has truly been remarkable and inspiring.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in social work from North Carolina Central University and my master’s degree in social work from East Carolina University. Over the years, I have worked in community mental health, a psychiatric hospital, mobile crisis intervention, and outpatient therapy settings.

I’m so glad you’re taking this important step toward prioritizing your mental health. Life can bring unexpected challenges, and at times, it may feel overwhelming or isolating. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, or burnout, please know that you are not alone.

With the right tools and support, you can navigate these challenges and discover effective solutions that empower you to move forward. Your struggles do not define you, and together, we can uncover the strategies that work best for you—helping you build a more fulfilling and authentic life.

If you feel I might be the right person to support you on this journey, I encourage you to take that first step today and schedule an appointment.
