Getting to know Amy Kowalewski
Amy Kowalewski, MSN, APN, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with experience in mental health care. She holds her Master of Science in Nursing from Monmouth University and holds a bachelor’s degrees in Nursing and Psychology from Rutgers University. Amy provides compassionate, evidence-based treatment in order to better support clients. She has worked in inpatient, outpatient, and intensive programs, and takes a collaborative approach to create personalized treatment plans that promote stability, well-being, and lasting change.
Amy specializes in the evaluation and management of psychiatric medication to provide comprehensive and personalized treatment plans for patients. In addition to psychiatric assessments, evaluations and medication management, Amy can help link patients to adjunct treatments, including but not limited to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (SPRAVATO esketamine) and/or talk therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first appointment will involve a review of personal history, including family dynamics, childhood experiences, relationships, and any significant life events as well as explore the reasons you sought services and the specific symptoms and challenges you are facing. Recommendations for care will be provided and together you’ll begin to develop a plan to achieve your goals and achieve symptom relief.
Prior to your appointment, please complete and submit the intake form sent upon booking, or complete our digital intake form linked here. You will receive additional, new patient paperwork via email. If this paperwork is not completed prior to your appointment, please arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete the required paperwork in-office.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Patients’ initial medication management evaluation is a crucial step towards understanding and addressing their mental health needs and typically involves a thorough assessment of their medical and psychiatric history. I will provide information about potential treatment options, including psychiatric medications, and explain the benefits, potential side effects, and risks associated with each. This discussion aims to engage the patient in the decision-making process, ensuring they actively participate in their treatment plan.
Relief Mental Health is an outpatient provider of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (SPRAVATO® and IV Ketamine), psychiatric medication management, and talk therapy for the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and other mental health diagnoses. While our expertise is broad, there are certain mental health conditions and diagnoses that fall outside our scope of practice. Your initial appointment will be considered an intake appointment and will not guarantee a continued patient-provider relationship.

More information on payments and coverage
If we do not receive your insurance information at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, we will collect a $100.00 deposit at the time of service and verify benefits after your appointment has taken place. This deposit will be applied towards any out-of-pocket costs for services, including copays, coinsurances, deductibles, or the full cash rate if we are out-of-network or unable to verify your insurance benefits. Once benefits are verified, any outstanding balance will be charged to the credit card on file and any overpayment can be refunded or applied to future visits. Our providers’ profiles list which insurances they accept, but patients are still encouraged to contact their insurance company for specific coverage details. Most of our providers are in-network with a variety of commercial PPO policies and Medicare, but are out-of-network with commercial HMO policies, Medicaid and other government-funded health insurance providers.

i was diagnosed properly and i really enjoyed the treatment process.

She’s a conservative prescriber. Despite having been on the same med regimen for many years with good effect and high functioning, she wouldn’t prescribe 1 med on the dosage I’ve been on for years or another med at all.
I’m 71, have specific needs and given my advanced age am more concerned about maintaining my level of current functioning than possible long term side effects. She’d likely better with a younger clientele.
