Hi! I'm Danielle. My goal is to help you get on the right medication and off medications that are not working. However, medication is only part of helping you feel your best. Therefore, I also include therapy and holistic wellness (support with nutrition, exercise, sleep, & mindfulness) as part of my integrative treatment. My goal is for you to feel safe, heard, included and well informed in your treatment decisions. To book an appointment, please visit https://healingtreehp.intakeq.com/booking
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who cares for clients across the lifespan, from young children to adults. I bring over 20 years of clinical nursing experience and several years of outpatient psychiatric practice, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, and behavioral health. My background includes extensive work in both hospital and outpatient settings, and I’m passionate about creating a warm, validating space where people feel heard and supported. I believe mental health care works best when it’s collaborative, compassionate, and personalized to each person’s needs.
I am Franchesca Ali (DNP, PMHNP-BC), a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing wholistic care to adults. I offer medication management and psychiatric evaluations. My practice specialties include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, insomnia, peri-partum, college mental health, life transitions, and burn-out. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Columbia University, along with a Psychiatric Certification from Hunter College in New York.
My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner was inspired by personal experiences. The stigma of mental health obstructs many people's journeys to achieving happiness. As a US Army Veteran, I have seen firsthand how this affects the lives of those struggling and their families. My goal is to enhance awareness and reduce the stigma.
Hello, and welcome. I’m a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in a variety of healthcare settings.
I work with children, teens, and adults, and I adapt my approach to meet each person’s unique needs and stage of life.
My passion for mental health grew through my work as an advanced practice clinician, where I saw how impactful the right care can be. I went on to pursue specialized training in psychiatry, graduating with honors in both phases of my graduate education. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers University) and later completed my post-master’s certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I treat a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and related concerns, and I take an individualized approach to care—whether that includes therapy-informed support, medication management, or a combination of both.

Frequently asked questions
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 Therapist in New Jersey
Finding the right psychiatrist in New Jersey starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how those medications are working over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health concern, a qualified healthcare professional can help you understand your care options and determine what kind of support may be appropriate. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication, and are another option available through Headway.
New Jersey has a large and diverse population of mental health providers, but finding one who accepts your insurance and has availability can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, someone who offers virtual appointments, or a psychiatrist located near cities like Newark, Jersey City, or Princeton. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry sessions in New Jersey can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
