Psychiatric nurse practitioners in New Jersey

ANK Behavioral Health is a telehealth psychiatric practice for adults across New Jersey, founded in 2021 by Alyssa Killion, MSN, APN, PMHNP-BC. Our board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners focus on thorough evaluations and careful, thoughtful medication management.

How we work

Careful prescribing, and time to talk it through

Thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults who value clarity, real conversation, and informed decisions, not rushed prescriptions.

Our visits include real therapeutic work alongside medication care. Depending on your clinician, visits may draw on supportive, motivational interviewing, CBT-based, or DBT-based skills. We don't offer standalone weekly therapy, but we're happy to help you find a therapist and, with your permission, we'll coordinate with them.

  • Careful, thoughtful prescribing

    We don't over-prescribe. No diagnosis or prescription without a proper evaluation.

  • A whole-person view

    Your symptoms, history, health, life and goals, not just a diagnosis.

  • Longer appointments

    Time to tell your whole story, and time to ask questions.

  • Actually talk with your prescriber

    A real conversation every visit, with practical strategies alongside your medication care.

  • Understand your medications and your diagnosis

    The diagnosis, the options, and the reasons behind each choice.

  • Protected time

    We don't double- or triple-book. The time on your calendar is yours.
