I believe meaningful psychiatric care begins with listening.

I’m Rosie Cesaire, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Ascending Minds Psychiatry. My clinical experience includes caring for adolescents and adults across outpatient, inpatient, emergency/consult-liaison, telepsychiatry, and long-term care settings.

Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I built my foundation as a registered nurse, caring for patients across medical and psychiatric settings. Those experiences shaped how I practice today: I don’t separate emotional well-being from physical health, relationships, daily functioning, environment, and the experiences that make each person unique.

I created Ascending Minds Psychiatry because I wanted to provide the kind of psychiatric care I believe people deserve—thoughtful, individualized, collaborative, and never rushed.

AMP serves adolescents and adults ages 12–55, with particular clinical interests in bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma and stress-related conditions, women’s mental health, and major life transitions.

My role is not simply to prescribe medication. I want you to understand your care, ask questions, participate in treatment decisions, recognize your strengths, and feel respected throughout the process.

That is why initial psychiatric evaluations are 90 minutes and follow-up appointments are 30 minutes. Time matters. Your history matters. Your questions matter. And your goals matter.

For those who desire it, faith and spirituality may be respectfully incorporated into treatment. This is always guided by your preferences.

You are more than a diagnosis. My goal is to understand the person behind it.
