I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in ICU. My background in ICU shaped how I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health, especially how stress, trauma, and anxiety often show up in the body. I transitioned into psychiatry after witnessing firsthand the emotional toll the pandemic had on patients, families, and healthcare workers. It became clear to me that supporting people’s mental health is just as essential as treating physical conditions.

**Important for New Jersey patients seeking STIMULANT treatment:

Due to New Jersey state regulations, patients prescribed stimulant medications are required to attend an in-person visit at least once every three months. These visits are scheduled at my SoHo office in Manhattan.

Please note that there is a $100 facility fee for in-person visits to cover the cost of the clinical space. This fee is separate from insurance and is due at the time of the visit.**

Izabella Alpert

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.

My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.

Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.

Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.

Find the right psychiatrist 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 Psychiatrist in Jersey City

Finding psychiatrists in Jersey City starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs.

Jersey City has in-person and virtual psychiatry options across areas like Downtown, Journal Square, the Heights, and Lincoln Park. A nearby office may matter if you prefer to meet in person or want an appointment that fits around your commute, while virtual sessions may offer more flexibility across your schedule. Psychiatry appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, review each profile for availability, whether they are accepting new patients, session format, and communication style before you book.

Psychiatric care in Jersey City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear booking options. You can enter your insurance details, compare profiles, 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.
