Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm happy you're here. I’m Jana Sackett, PMHNP-BC, an adult psychiatric nurse practitioner providing evidence-based medication management and supportive therapy for adults across California. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and major life stressors. With over ten years of emergency nursing experience, I developed a deep understanding of how medical and psychiatric conditions overlap. That background now supports my detail-oriented psychiatric approach, ensuring we consider the full clinical picture—not just symptoms in isolation. I blend clinical precision with a warm, grounded style so clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their care.

My approach to therapy

My approach is thoughtful, practical, and collaborative. I focus on clear diagnoses, personalized medication planning, lifestyle-focused supports, and consistent follow-up. Sessions are paced comfortably—never rushed—and I make space for questions so you always feel informed and empowered. Patients often describe working with me as talking to someone who listens carefully, explains things clearly, and genuinely cares about their well-being.

What you can expect from me

Your first session centers on understanding your symptoms, history, and goals. We’ll explore what’s been challenging, what’s been working, and what you hope to change. From there, we build a treatment plan together, which may include medication, supportive therapy, and lifestyle recommendations. My goal is to create a calm, honest, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing openly and leave with clarity about next steps.
