Bigy Thomas, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
You deserve a care plan that sees the whole person—not just a 15-minute prescription.
Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I believe true healing happens in a trusted partnership. In our sessions, you will find a safe, non-judgmental space where your voice is heard, your story is respected, and your personal goals guide every decision we make together.
How We Will Work Together:
- Care Beyond Medication: While precision medication management can be an effective tool, it is only one part of healing. I actively integrate evidence-based therapy skills (including CBT and Motivational Interviewing) to help you build practical, lasting coping strategies.
- Mind-Body Connection: With more than 25 years of extensive clinical nursing experience, I look closely at how your physical health, sleep, stress, and lifestyle influence how you feel mentally and emotionally.
- Culturally Sensitive & Personalized: Your background, values, and lived experiences matter. We will tailor your care to fit who you are and what you care about most.
Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, mood changes, or major life transitions, we will work together at your pace to help you regain balance and feel empowered in your daily life.

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.
