Janelle Vaughan

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in California, and I built my practice around being a true advocate for the people I work with. I trained in both medication management and therapy, and I find that care is most effective when those two things work together. Whether you are managing a mood disorder, navigating anxiety or depression, or figuring out the right psychiatric medications, I take time to understand you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. My goal is for every client to feel genuinely heard, supported, and in control of their own mental health journey.

I see medication management and therapy as partners, not separate services. Together, we will look at what is driving your symptoms and find a path that fits your life. I believe you are the expert on yourself, and my role is to bring the clinical knowledge that helps you move forward with confidence.

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you, not just your chart. I will ask questions, listen carefully, and we will talk through what you are experiencing and what kind of support would help most. You will leave with a clear sense of next steps and a care plan we built together.
