I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore life's challenges, gain insight, and develop practical tools to move toward lasting emotional wellness.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with experience providing psychotherapy to adults across a variety of settings, including outpatient private practice and senior living communities. I work with individuals (adolescents to seniors) experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic pain, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress-related challenges.

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 believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.

Therapist

You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns. As a licensed trauma and addiction therapist, I help individuals uncover the emotional wounds and subconscious beliefs that drive anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors. Healing begins when we understand—not judge—why we do what we do.

I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction treatment, and emotional regulation, helping clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Whether you’re navigating PTSD, anxiety, codependency, or recovery from substance use, my goal is to help you move from survival mode into authentic healing and growth.
