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.
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.**
Welcome! As a therapist, my mission is to cultivate a place for you to share your story and rediscover your strengths. I integrate my education, training, and lived experience to create an informed, compassionate practice built on mutual trust and safety. Contact me and we can begin to write your next chapters, together.
Robbenmarie works well with adolescents and adults for general mental health, as well as adults for trauma focused therapy. She is trained in EMDR approaches, as well as evidenced-based skills and therapy to improve your overall mental health!I have a warm and empathetic approach towards my clients. I especially value deep commitment and understanding as I get to know you.
I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.
My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.
While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.
You do not have to navigate change alone.
Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City
Finding a postpartum therapist in Jersey City starts with identifying the type of support you need. Perinatal mental health concerns — including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and mood changes during or after pregnancy — are common, and support from a qualified healthcare professional may help. Look for a licensed provider such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist with specific experience in maternal mental health. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which indicates advanced training in this area.
With many providers practicing across Jersey City and Hudson County, narrowing your options can take time — especially as a new parent. Consider what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions you can attend from home, one who uses a specific approach like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or one whose schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Jersey City can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
