Tarek  Aly MD, MPH

I am proudly from Volusia County- growing up in the Edgewater/NSB area and going to Spruce Creek High School. I went on to UCF and started a nonprofit organization in Volusia to help deliver food to homeless individuals as a means to improve communication with the community. The organization ended when I attended medical school at Ross University while simultaneously getting my Master’s in Public Health through Michigan State University.

After finishing my residency at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in New Jersey, I went on to complete a fellowship at Harvard Medical School – Boston Children’s Hospital in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, where I served as a Chief with focus on Emergency Psychiatry, Problematic Interactive Media Use, and academic research.

I am dual board certified in Adult (2019) and Child and Adolescent (2020) Psychiatry with specialized training in ADHD, OCD, ASD, substance abuse and psychotherapy. During my time at Boston Children’s Hospital, I helped develop a treatment manual for Problematic Interactive Media Use as I have always had a passion about the overlap between mental health and interactive media.

I believe medicine and mental health can be both evidence-based and practical. I tell every one of the parents of my young patients that, “I am a parent first and a doctor second,” when we develop a treatment plan. It’s easy to look around and get frustrated with the “medicine first” mentality- a quick fix to treating the complexities of psychiatric diagnoses.

I take a conservative but evidence- based approach to medication management with the belief that the path to better mental health and functioning is a mosaic- a multidisciplinary approach including lifestyle changes, therapy, and pharmacological management when appropriate.

 

 

Angelique McLoughlin MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 12 years of progressive nursing experience. My journey began as an LPN and continued through ASN and BSN programs at Daytona State College. I later earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. I was born and raised in Oxford, Massachusetts, but have called Volusia County home since 2002.

My clinical approach is rooted in empathy, practicality, and partnership. I believe mental health care should meet people where they are and fit into the realities of daily life. I offer medication management and supportive care for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood-related challenges. I strive to create a space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two daughters. Whether we’re enjoying a quiet evening at home or discovering a great new local spot to eat, I find joy in the simple things especially when shared with family.

Hello! My name is Lyndsey and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of healthcare experience. My diverse background includes critical care, emergency medicine, and women’s health, all of which have

I believe in a holistic and individualized treatment approach.

Testimonials

It was so painful to hear my child say that she wanted to die. Thank you for making that painful day a bit better by being so kind and empathetic… Your warmth made me feel right away that we were in the right hands… Mercifully, things are getting a lot better. Thank you so much for everything”

We tried a lot of doctors but none of them were working, then we went to you and you fixed all my OCD.  You helped me fight through it ,even when it was hard.  You got me on the right medicine to get me better. I don’t think there is any Doctor  in the world that cares about their patience as much as you cared about me. I don’t think that I could have gotten a better doctor in the world Thank You Dr. Aly.”

I truly believe people come into your life for a reason, and for our family that is and always will be Dr. Aly.  Right before my son’s 10th Birthday he was diagnosed with severe OCD that stopped him from everything.  As a mother , I can’t even describe the pain in my soul. My beautiful boy was lost, and so was our family.  My son was in therapy about six month before we met Dr. Aly. Things seemed to get worse each day with my son.  

Dr. Aly  got him on the right medication and he always listened to my motherly instinct. He always heard me, listened to me, and helped me as a mother. He is also very conservative with medication, so I felt safe. Dr. Aly has this calming, funny, and sensitive way about him that no other doctor has in my eyes. Sometimes he would just ask me if I was ok, and I would cry. I would try to be a tough mom, but I was dying inside for my beautiful boy. Dr. Aly has a special way about him , and he also helped my husband and I during this. 

Now my son is almost 12, and he is on the honor-roll, runs cross country for his school, plays basketball, video games, and hangs out with friends.  Yes, he still and will always have OCD, anxiety, and ADD, but he is on the right medication, and his therapy worked. He is thriving now, and back to himself.  My son wants to use his “ superpower” to be a doctor like Dr. Aly to help kids like himself, and yes he is only 11, but that is the impact Dr. Aly had on my child.”
