Hi, I’m Akisha Toussaint, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
Wellness isn't just about managing symptoms—it’s about feeling like yourself again. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep issues, or just feeling off balance, you deserve support that addresses every part of your health—mind and body.
I specialize in mental health care, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach combines medication management with personalized, holistic care. I work collaboratively with each patient to create a plan that fits their needs. My goal is to help you feel balanced and in control of your mental health.
I have 20 years of experience in mental health nursing and 5 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, supporting them through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns.
Hello, I’m Charloth V. Bledsoe, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Nevada, Reno, and have experience providing psychiatric care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
My practice focuses on comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and treatment for conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. I also have experience providing Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and caring for individuals with complex mental health needs.
I believe mental health care should be individualized, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a safe environment where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I work with each person to develop a treatment plan that fits their unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
Whether you are seeking support for a new concern or looking for ongoing psychiatric care, I am committed to helping you work toward greater stability, wellness, and quality of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Carson City, NV
Finding psychiatrists in Carson City starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists, counselors, and social workers provide talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be part of your care plan. Look for listed specialties, credentials, and bio details that match what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Carson City, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Nevada markets. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options while still letting you search for someone licensed in your state. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people see both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on their needs. As you compare profiles, review appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how they describe their approach to care.
Psychiatric care in Carson City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before an appointment. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated session cost before booking. You can compare bios, choose between virtual and in-person options when available, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
