The Team

 

ARCK PSYCHIATRY is comprised of licensed therapists and prescribers that can take care of all your mental health needs. We create a tailored plan of care for our patients by conducting a detailed intake, then a follow up psychiatric assessment.

Our experienced therapists offer a variety of therapy styles including talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), couples therapy, relaxation and stress management to fit your specific needs. Based on studies we know that therapy alone may not be enough to treat your condition and have experienced prescribers who can carefully assess and determine the best plan for medication management.

Sandra Agenore-Alexandre,
MSN, PMHNP-BC

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who graduated with a degree from Molloy College. Mental illness is still misunderstood in our society, and I come from a country where the affected live as outcast with no form of support. I believe that a good mental health is the foundation to live a meaningful and successful life.

In my practice, I believe the most important part of patient care is fostering a therapeutic rapport while delivering holistic, patient-focused, and evidence based care. I believe in empowering patients to live wholeheartedly. My patients will know that they have been heard and understood without judgment. They will leave feeling hopeful.
