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.
Hello! I'm Dr. John Rossi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping people find clarity and hope on their mental health journey. At Clarity Mental Health and Wellness, I provide compassionate, personalized care — whether through medication management, therapy, or innovative options like ketamine treatment — to support you in feeling your best. I'm here to listen without judgment and work together toward lasting well-being. Welcome — I'm glad you're taking this step!
Seeking help isn't always easy, and I believe finding the right provider should feel like a good fit, not just another appointment. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and know that we're working together as a team.
I enjoy caring for individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, OCD, insomnia, and other mental health challenges. I also help people navigate grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact that chronic medical conditions can have on everyday life.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person has a different story, and treatment should reflect that. Whether we're discussing medication, coping strategies, or lifestyle changes, I want you to feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and involved in every decision we make.
My hope is that you leave each appointment feeling understood, supported, and with a clear plan for moving forward.
Very empathic, resilient, welcoming and non judgmental.

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 Las Cruces
Finding psychiatrists in Las Cruces 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 psychiatric care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through other forms of care. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and approach to medication management.
Las Cruces has a smaller local mental health care market than major metro areas, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond offices near Mesilla, Organ, and nearby communities. Psychiatric care also tends to follow a different schedule than therapy. Medication management appointments are often shorter and may happen less often than weekly therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a psychiatrist offers virtual or in-person care, and what their bio says about communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Las Cruces 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 you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after your benefits are verified. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, 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.
