Janet “Jan” Yager is a board certified nurse practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience in psychiatric, adult, and family health.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Woodbury, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Woodbury starts with knowing which kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical background, and care approach match what you want support with.
In a smaller community like Woodbury, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas, and virtual appointments can give you more choices. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s profile for availability, appointment format, specialties, and communication style, so you can choose someone who fits your schedule and preferences.
Psychiatric care in Woodbury can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs before booking, compare bios, 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.
