Hello, I am Aliyah Hurling, CRNP, MSN, PMHNP BC. I am a licensed and board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience supporting clients through depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. I offer care that is warm, respectful, and centered on your goals.
Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. With advanced training in Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University and over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, and substance use disorders. I take a whole-person approach to care, recognizing that symptoms are influenced by more than a diagnosis alone. I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live. Whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I will work with you to understand what you are experiencing, identify what may be contributing to your symptoms, and develop a treatment approach that fits your needs, goals, and preferences.
Hello, I am glad you are here. Taking the first step towards your mental health is a big step, and I want you to know that you will be welcome with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. I earned my degree from Walden University and provide care for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and involved in your care.
Hee Seung Haley Lee is Yale-trained and a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner since 2010. She is experienced in treating adults with mood disorders, stress/trauma-related disorders in various clinical settings. She offers evidence-based psychotherapy and medication management tailored to the client’s individual needs.
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.
I am a board certified adult psychiatric nurse practitioner with 16 years of experience in medication management. My specialties include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep disorders and more. I treat patients 18 years and older and see patients in person at my quiet office suite as well as through online telehealth. Please note that I am no longer prescribing stimulant medications for ADHD (Adderall, Vyvanse, methylphenidate, etc).
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in holistic care for high-achieving young professionals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I completed my residency at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, a clinical affiliate of Rutgers, with a background in neuroscience and psychology from UC Davis.

Frequently asked questions
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 Therapist in New Jersey
Finding psychiatrists in New Jersey starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and do not prescribe medication. Both can be helpful entry points depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Across New Jersey, available psychiatrists may vary between larger areas like Newark, Jersey City, and Trenton, as well as suburban and rural communities. Some people prefer in-person appointments near home or work, while others choose virtual psychiatry for added flexibility. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in New Jersey can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before you book. Browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you are 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.
