If anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma has started to feel like it's steering your life instead of you, that's exactly where I do my best work.

I work with children, teens, adults, and couples, and I bring genuine respect, real-world knowledge, and yes, some humor to every session, because feeling comfortable with your therapist actually matters for getting better.

I will work with you to determine the best approach to meet your goals. I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist-Associate who serves adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with young people experiencing disruptive behaviors, and individuals experiencing change of life concerns, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders, as well as aiding individuals in developing anger management skills and coping skills to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact.

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!
