Dr. Alana Ribowsky, RN, NP, DNP

Dr. Alana Ribowsky, RN, NP, DNP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NY
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Columbia University. I provide medication management for adults in New York and work primarily with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and related mood and attention concerns. My approach to care is thoughtful, structured, and evidence based, while still being warm and collaborative. I believe that good psychiatric care requires more than just prescribing medication. It means taking the time to understand your full story, including your symptoms, your goals, your medical history, and what has or has not worked for you in the past. My goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident in the decisions we make together. In sessions, I focus on creating a calm, professional, and respectful space where you can speak openly and feel taken seriously. Appointments are organized, efficient, and centered on developing practical treatment plans that fit your real life. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and reliability, and I work hard to be responsive and engaged in my patients’ care. I specialize in medication management and incorporate brief supportive therapy when appropriate. I do not provide long term psychotherapy, but I regularly collaborate with outside therapists and other providers to ensure coordinated, high quality care. I have experience working with adults across a range of clinical settings and understand that mental health is complex and deeply personal. I work best with patients who value open communication, mutual respect, and active participation in their treatment. I see psychiatric care as a partnership, and I am committed to helping you build long term stability, resilience, and improved quality of life. My goal is for you to leave appointments feeling heard, understood, and equipped with a clear plan moving forward.
