Hi, I'm Jana Sackett, MSN, PMHNP-BC, an adult psychiatric nurse practitioner treating patients across California by video.

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.

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 Monrovia
Finding psychiatrists in Monrovia starts with understanding the kind of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication needs. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.
Monrovia is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose based on availability, specialty, and fit. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their communication style, appointment structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Monrovia can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and other prescribers who are accepting new patients, verifies your insurance information, and shows your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare profiles, choose virtual or in-person care when available, 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.
