Hi, I’m Kaliym Howell, PMHNP. I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience in inpatient psychiatry and outpatient medication management. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma-related conditions, and life transitions using a calm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps you gain clarity, stability, and long-term wellness.
I am a nurse practitioner with over 20years experience in psychiatric mental health. I am board certification as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner across life span. I completed my advanced Graduate Certification in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey. My area of specialization includes treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Posttraumatic disorder (PTSD), Sleep issues and medication management.
Your mind and body are speaking—are you listening? As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in high-stakes intensive care, I understand what many overlook: mental and physical health are inseparable.
In critical care, I saw how stress, trauma, and anxiety manifest in the body—tight chests, sleepless nights, unexplained pain. And when the pandemic hit, I witnessed the silent emotional suffering of patients, families, and healthcare workers alike. That moment changed everything.
I chose psychiatry because healing your mind is just as vital as healing your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like no one sees what you’re carrying—you don’t have to hold it alone. I’m here to help you reconnect, restore, and rise.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Freehold, NJ
Finding the right psychiatrist in Freehold starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid entry points, depending on the support you want. Look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your specific needs.
Freehold has local psychiatry options, and virtual appointments can help widen your search when nearby availability is limited. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Freehold, review bios for clinical focus, appointment format, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Freehold can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review bios, 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.
