Hi, I’m Carisa Peeples, a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background includes psychiatric emergency care, crisis stabilization, and working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, and life stressors.
I believe mental health treatment should be compassionate, individualized, and collaborative. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard while we work together to develop a treatment plan that fits their needs and goals.
I believe that healthy change starts from within and my role is to be a guide during this process. Often times we feel we are stuck in a rut with no way out, but together we'll work on building self-empowerment, better self-care, and self-awareness. No matter what you're going through there's always room to learn and grow from the past to make a better future. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and building self-confidence. I'm also trained in Brainspotting.
I believe that optimal mental health is achieved through an ongoing, multi-pronged approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I am well trained in the art and science of prescribing medications to improve mental health symptoms. I also encourage adjunctive treatment modalities such as CBT. Empowering patients to care for themselves is part of my goal. I embrace opportunities to help my patients gain greater personal insight, because when you can see yourself, you can change yourself.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, parenting a teenager, exploring adoption, or simply facing everyday challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. With 15 years of social work experience, I’m here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you move toward the life you want to build.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Albuquerque
Finding ADHD therapists in Albuquerque starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy can help with executive function, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Some people look for an adult ADHD therapist, while others need a therapist with experience supporting children or teens. A psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber may help with medication management, while a therapist can offer skills-based support through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, behavioral therapy, or coaching-informed strategies.
In Albuquerque, your search may include therapists with offices near work, school, or home, as well as therapists who offer virtual appointments across New Mexico. Virtual care can expand your options if local availability, transportation, or scheduling makes in-person visits harder to fit into your week. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and how they describe their approach to ADHD therapy. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist specializing in ADHD also has experience with co-occurring concerns, such as anxiety, depression, learning differences, or stress.
Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant investment 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 compare ADHD therapists in Albuquerque who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance fit, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can browse therapists, review available times, 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.
