Hello, I am Aliyah Hurling, CRNP, MSN, PMHNP BC. I am a licensed and board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience supporting clients through depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. I offer care that is warm, respectful, and centered on your goals.

I believe that each person brings a unique story shaped by their life experiences, values, and cultural background. My clinical work has taken place across a variety of settings—including academic institutions, state hospitals, and community mental health clinics—which has helped me develop a flexible, respectful, and collaborative approach to care.

I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.

I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.

Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.
