Hi! I’m Alyssa, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, and life transitions. I have experience at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) supporting medically complex children and adolescents, which has shaped my compassionate and collaborative approach to care. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.
Jones Simon is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based mental health care for adolescents, adults, and older adults. He specializes in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, substance use disorders, and chronic mental health conditions through thoughtful medication management and supportive psychotherapy. His approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their mental health journey.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience, caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds across healthcare and community settings.
My clinical background includes approximately one year working with men experiencing homelessness, where I conducted psychiatric evaluations to identify diagnosed and previously unrecognized mental health conditions that could affect employment, housing stability, and daily functioning. This experience strengthened my understanding of how mental health, life circumstances, and social challenges can impact overall well-being.
I also have extensive experience in postpartum and maternal health, giving me a unique understanding of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns. While this remains a special area of interest, I provide psychiatric care to adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.
At NurtureNest Behavioral Health, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and supportive therapy using a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life.
I am a warm, open-minded, and compassionate clinician who values collaboration and respect in every session. I provide both talk therapy and medication management, tailoring care to each person’s unique needs and goals. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a supportive, client-centered style, helping you navigate challenges while building resilience, personal strengths, and a sense of meaning in your life.
I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, ask questions about treatment, and feel empowered to make choices that support your mental health. Whether you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or both, I partner with you to develop a plan that works for your life, pace, and values.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Rego Park, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Rego Park starts with choosing the right type of mental health care for your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be used for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. Both therapy and psychiatry can be useful entry points depending on what you’re looking for, and many psychiatrist profiles note listed specialties, clinical focus areas, and what to expect in appointments.
Rego Park is close to larger Queens neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Elmhurst, and Corona, but local appointment options may vary by schedule and office location. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still letting you choose a psychiatrist licensed in New York. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and whether the appointment format fits your needs.
Psychiatric care in Rego Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs upfront. You can review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
