My training includes a general psychiatry residency in New Jersey and an advanced Addiction Psychiatry/NIDA‐T32 Research Fellowship at Columbia University in New York City, where I received specialized experience in the treatment of substance use disorders, comorbidity, and academic research.
I have 8 years of nursing experience working with children as young as 6 years and older across inpatient and outpatient settings. Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ODD, bipolar and psychotic disorders are some of the areas I have expertise in.
I graduated from Hofstra University Nurse Practitioner Program and was recognized for The Academic Excellence Award for outstanding clinical and academic performance.

Maybe you're feeling stuck in relationships, school, or work and your goal is to feel more balanced, confident, and capable of handling daily challenges while building long-term resilience and growth. Regardless of what you're facing, I'm here to help. I’m Dr. Alex Luna, a Columbia and Cornell trained psychiatrist specializing in the care of adults, children, and adolescents.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management and psychiatric evaluations. As an ER nurse for 15 years in the Psychiatric emergency department and spending the first half of my Nurse practitioner career on an inpatient psychiatric unit before going to outpatient, I have been there with people and helped them through their roughest days. Through medication managed crisis intervention work in these areas, I have learned to support your journey through medication stabilization, a lot of humor about the triggers and stressors life gives us and foundational guidance.
I help you simplify your medications and narrow down to 1-2 medications that work best for you. My patients would describe me as thoughtful and caring.

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 Hauppauge
Finding psychiatrists in Hauppauge starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be part of your care. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, experience, and approach so you can choose someone whose training matches what you want support with.
In a smaller market like Hauppauge, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Suffolk County. Virtual appointments can expand your search to psychiatrists across New York while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management appointments than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, look at availability, appointment format, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and the bio details that explain how each psychiatrist works with patients.
Psychiatric care in Hauppauge 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 search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, confirm your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
