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.

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 Rio Rancho
Finding the right psychiatrist in Rio Rancho starts with knowing what kind of care you want to search for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care focus before you book.
Rio Rancho has a smaller local psychiatry market than nearby Albuquerque, so virtual appointments can help expand your options across New Mexico. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and how their bio describes their communication style and approach.
Psychiatric care in Rio Rancho can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see estimated pricing before you book. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients — so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re 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.
