Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Riverside, CA


I am currently accepting patients and next day appointments are available. I provide evidence-based psychiatric medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and related concerns for adults, adolescents, and children (age 6+). Many of my patients are students, professionals, and parents seeking practical solutions that improve concentration, mood, and daily functioning. My approach is collaborative, structured, and goal-oriented. I also provide objective psychological testing (Pearson) for ADHD, mood, autism, and personality concerns including Connors, Brown, BASC, ASRS, Vineland, and Millon.

With over 12 years of psychiatric experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, I aim to provide care that is both clinically thorough and practical for real life. My goal is to help you experience meaningful symptom improvement, better daily functioning, and greater confidence in managing your mental health.

If mutually decided to prescribe controlled substances such as stimulants, then a controlled substances agreement will need to be signed.

Jana Sackett

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Jana Sackett, MSN, PMHNP-BC, an adult psychiatric nurse practitioner treating patients across California by video. I came to psychiatry after more than a decade in emergency nursing, where I learned how often a psychiatric presentation has a medical driver underneath it, so I look at the whole clinical picture, not the symptom in isolation.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and major life stressors, and I'm particularly interested in how medication, supplementation, and daily structure interact — because for most people it is never only the prescription doing the work.

Your first evaluation is a full sixty minutes, you see me at every visit after it, and we track your progress with the same validated measures each time so we both know whether the plan is working.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Costa Mesa

Finding psychiatrists in Costa Mesa starts with understanding the type of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of ongoing care. Therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see how closely they match your needs.

Costa Mesa has local mental health care options, but appointment availability can vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in California. Psychiatric care also often follows a different cadence than therapy: medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than weekly therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their communication style, session structure, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Costa Mesa can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, and many offer in-person or virtual appointments and accept insurance. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated cost 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.
