I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to providing thoughtful, patient-centered mental health care. My background includes working with individuals across the lifespan, with a focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. I’m passionate about creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. I value building strong relationships and helping clients feel comfortable being themselves in the process.
My work focuses on helping individuals through life transitions whether that be in the form of grief, trauma or overall changes happening and causing disruption to your life. I have been in the therapy world for 6 years now and prior worked in community focused organizations. I have training in trauma-informed therapy, as a death comadre, CPP, and perinatal mental health.
I believe anyone can live a meaningful and fulfilling life and that we all can change and grow even in the most challenging times. For over twenty years, I have worked with Adults, Couples, Teens/Children, and families from a diverse population, helping clients change problematic behaviors and thinking patterns to achieve wellness and growth.

Hello, I'm Diana Pena, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide comprehensive care for complex psychiatric presentations. My expertise spans ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, schizophrenia and psychosis disorders, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. I've dedicated my practice to supporting those who may have struggled to find providers comfortable with their complexity.
What sets my practice apart is my genuine comfort with diagnostic complexity and co-occurring conditions. Many patients come to me after experiencing frustration with providers who seemed overwhelmed by multifaceted presentations or offered fragmented care. I understand that real people rarely fit into neat diagnostic boxes, and I bring the expertise needed to address how neurodivergence, trauma, substance use, and mental health conditions intersect.
My approach is individualized and trauma-informed. Whether you're navigating ADHD and autism together, managing OCD alongside trauma history, dealing with personality disorder symptoms while in recovery, or experiencing psychotic symptoms, I take time to comprehend your unique situation. I believe in thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and collaborative treatment planning that honors your goals.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for open conversation. My goal is to help you understand your experience, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience as we work toward the meaningful life you want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Glendale
Finding a postpartum therapist in Glendale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Providers who specialize in perinatal mental health can help with a range of concerns, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional shifts that come with new parenthood. Licensed therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists each bring different expertise — a psychiatrist can evaluate whether medication management may be appropriate, while a therapist can offer talk therapy tailored to your specific situation.
With Glendale located in the greater Phoenix metro area, you have access to a broad range of providers who offer both in-person and virtual sessions. When choosing a provider, consider what matters most to you — whether that's a specific therapeutic approach, session availability that fits your schedule, or a provider whose background and style feel like a good match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a clearer sense of how they work.
Therapy in Glendale can be expensive without insurance, but using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
