I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with several years of experience and I specialize in treating young adults, adults, and seniors. My clinical background has afforded me the fulfilling opportunity to support the mental wellness of individuals from all backgrounds. I believe in evidence-based treatment- I specialize in interventional modalities, and I now conduct Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for depression in our Charlotte office.
Hi there, I’m Nimrode Aridou. After seven intense years as an emergency room psychiatric nurse, I built this practice to provide fast, judgment-free mental healthcare that truly fits your busy life. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and clear ADHD testing—and starting at the end of November 2026, I am thrilled to expand our services to offer Spravato (esketamine) treatments right here in our office for treatment-resistant depression. You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk; just show up exactly as you are, and let’s work together to get you feeling like yourself again!
I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide care to children, adolescents, and adults, and my background in both family medicine and psychiatric mental health allows me to consider the important connection between physical and mental well-being.
I evaluate and manage a wide range of psychiatric and behavioral health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, substance use and addiction, chronic stress, anger and aggression, sleep concerns, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. My medical background also informs my work with individuals whose mental health may be affected by chronic pain, medical conditions, medications, or other physical health concerns.
In addition to my medical and psychiatric training, I have specialized training and certifications in various evidence-based psychotherapy modalities. My therapeutic work may include individual therapy, trauma-focused therapy, family therapy, and parent-child therapeutic approaches. This combination of medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic training allows me to provide care that is individualized to the needs of each person and family.
Accepting new patients. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Holsan Behavioral Health who provides medication management with psychotherapy to ages six and older. I offer in-person appointments in Raleigh, NC, and telehealth services across the state of North Carolina. I specialize in attention difficulties, behavioral challenges, mood challenges, anxiety, psychosis, personality disorders, sleep, military issues, and trauma.
Life is full of transitions, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, a major life change, or rebuilding after incarceration, my goal is to provide compassionate, judgment-free care that meets you where you are. I believe treatment should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms. Together we’ll create a plan that supports your mental wellness while helping you build the life you want, with medication management, therapy, and practical resources tailored to your needs.
My journey to becoming a provider has given me a unique perspective on resilience and growth. I immigrated to the United States from Rwanda in my early twenties, learned English from the ground up, and worked my way through multiple degrees while gaining diverse life experience. This background helps me connect with clients from all walks of life and understand the challenges of navigating complex systems.
I’m Rhode Desauguste, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and founder of Calm Horizon Integrative Psychiatry PLLC. I have experience providing psychiatric care across a variety of settings and populations, including several years working with individuals in assisted living and skilled nursing settings, as well as outpatient and telehealth care.
I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges.
My goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and working toward meaningful improvements in their mental health and overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Matthews
Searching for psychiatrists in Matthews starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication; therapists focus on talk therapy and skill-based support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be one option to consider. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach to understand whether their training matches what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Matthews, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can help expand your options across North Carolina. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy as part of care. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on their goals and care plan. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist offers virtual or in-person sessions, and how they describe their communication style before you book.
Psychiatric care in Matthews can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are ready for new patients. 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.
