Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Sparks, NV

Before I became a therapist, I was a high school English teacher, a

college professor, and a yoga instructor. That path wasn't random

— each role taught me something different about how people

grow, get stuck, and find their way back to themselves. I bring all

of that into my practice now.

I work with adults across Nevada via telehealth who are wrestling

with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing patterns, trauma, and self-worth.

I'm also a Level II Reiki practitioner and E-RYT-500+ advanced yoga

teacher — which means I understand that healing isn't just

cognitive. The body is part of this too, and I take that seriously.

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.

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 work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.

I often help those working through partner betrayal, relational trauma, or severe mood and anxiety symptoms. Clients benefit from my psychodynamic approach which has been shown to be especially helpful for managing complex trauma and improving negative relationship patterns. I have extensive training diagnosing personality disorders, in addition to helping persons with severe depression, panic attacks, nonsuicidal self-injury, and OCD. Clients tell me they appreciate my calm, regulating presence as well as my nonjudgemental stance.

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.
