Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 7.6 mi away • Ridgewood, NJ


am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, skills-based psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient's age, circumstances, symptoms, and goals.

My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health systems, detoxification and dual-diagnosis programs, and community-based mental health organizations. This experience has allowed me to work with individuals across the lifespan and with a wide range of needs, from patients seeking help with anxiety, depression, or ADHD to those managing trauma, substance use, or more complex mental health conditions. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree with advanced training in psychiatric mental health. In addition to my direct clinical work, I have served as Chief Nurse Executive for a large behavioral health organization, where I oversaw integrated mental health, addiction treatment, and community-care programs. Working at both the patient and organizational levels has given me a broad perspective on mental health care and reinforced the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect a person's well-being.

Kyle Bonner

Kyle Bonner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Allenwood, NJ


My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.

Virtual • New Jersey


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.

Find the right therapist 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 Teaneck

Searching for therapists in Teaneck starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Their profile can show whether they use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other approaches that may fit what you want from therapy.

Teaneck is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search across New Jersey while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Teaneck can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
