Alexandra Kristobak, PA-C.

Ali Kristobak is a certified physician assistant (PA-C) with a special interest in perinatal mental health. She graduated from Penn State with a degree in biology and went on to complete the PA program at Lock Haven University in 2015, earning a master’s degree in health sciences and becoming a board certified physician assistant that same year. Since that time she has worked in psychiatry across multiple levels of care and with varying patient populations; however, her interest in perinatal mental health came into focus after her own experiences with pregnancy and new motherhood during a global pandemic. In developing this niche further, she has completed additional training through Postpartum Support International and is actively pursuing a Perinatal Mental Health Certification with psychopharmacology focus. She is excited and humbled to be practicing alongside Dr. Homitsky who is a renowned expert in this field. Nonetheless, her passion for providing psychiatric care extends beyond perinatal mental health, and she sees a wide array of diagnoses with a special focus on clients struggling with big life changes and mood disturbances that can be inherent to such adjustments. Her personal model of care is is one that centers the client and focuses on providing validation and building rapport and therapeutic alliance, while emphasizing collaboration in clinical decision making.

 

At this time Ali is excited to offer virtual and in-person medication management appointments to any patient located in Pennsylvania. She is able to accept Highmark BCBS, UPMC, and offers self pay options as well. Rates are $200 for initial evaluation and $100 for follow up appointments for self pay.
