Ariane Djeussoung, DNP, PMHNP, FNP (Founder)
Ariane is a Doctorate prepared, double board certified, Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family nurse practitioner who is a highly skilled professional and brings over 14 years healthcare experience. She has dedicated the past 8 years to providing compassionate care to cancer patients and their families, a community that holds a special place in her heart.
Ariane started The Equilibrium Klinic to increase access to crucial mental health care for those in need, particularly cancer patients and their families. A cancer diagnosis and treatment can lead to significant mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, delirium, sleep disorders, cognitive impairment and stress. Ariane uses integrative psychiatry to addresses these issues by combining conventional psychiatric care with complimentary and alternative approaches, such as nutritional support, mind-body therapies, stress management techniques, sleep hygiene. This care model not only helps manage psychiatric symptoms but also improves overall quality of life.
Ariane is committed to deliver compassionate, care to all individuals. She adopts a holistic, patient-centered approach, addressing both physical and mental health to promote overall well-being. Using evidence-based practices, Ariane customizes treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs, aiming to empower them with the tools and support necessary for a fulfilling and healthy life.
Outside of work, Ariane enjoys traveling, and spending time with her family.
