Hey there! I’m Alina Naik, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner committed to provided comprehensive, integrative psychiatric care for adults in New York. I earned my Bachelor of Science with Honors in Nursing with a certificate in Public Health from the University of Texas at Austin, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing, specializing in Psychiatry, from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. I also completed 200 hours of Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India.

My work is grounded in the belief that the mind and body are deeply connected, and that healing happens when both are nurtured with attention and empathy. I aim to meet each person where they are, creating a space that feels safe, judgement-free, and genuine. I integrate medication management with psychotherapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches, drawing on my training as a certified yoga instructor to support resilience and well-being. I’m especially passionate about fostering equity in mental health and making care accessible and affirming for each individual. 

My focus throughout this process will be on getting to know you — your story, your goals, and your needs as you navigate life’s changes. I often prescribe medication, and while it can be very helpful for many people, I understand it’s not the right path for everyone. My goal is to work with you to identify treatment options that feel aligned with your values and set a foundation for your wellness journey. I will tailor your care to you, the whole you.
