Janet “Jan” Yager is a board certified nurse practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience in psychiatric, adult, and family health. After earning her Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) from Stony Brook University, Jan took special interest in the disconnect between physical and mental health services. With a desire to provide a bridge between these aspects of care,
Down to earth and very open minded. I believe in complete transparency and accountability.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
I provide compassionate, collaborative care for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your treatment.
My style is warm, practical, and patient-centered. I work with you to better understand what you are experiencing, identify meaningful goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. With my background in both mental health and family practice, I take a whole-person approach to care that supports both emotional well-being and overall wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Lockport, NY
Finding the right psychiatrist in Lockport starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and related support. If you’re looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be part of your care. Look for a psychiatrist whose profile lists experience with your concerns, explains their approach, and helps you understand what to expect before booking.
In a smaller city like Lockport, local psychiatry options may be more limited, so virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists available to you across New York. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, scheduling flexibility, and appointment format can make a practical difference. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you compare clinical focus, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Lockport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance plan, with estimated costs shown before you book. You can browse psychiatrists in Lockport, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
