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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Petaluma
Finding psychiatrists in Petaluma starts with understanding what kind of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy and related support. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, either psychiatric care, therapy, or a mix of both may fit your needs. Reviewing a psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach can help you decide who matches what you’re looking for.
Petaluma is a smaller city, so the number of local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger parts of California. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for care that fits your schedule, insurance, and preferences. Psychiatric medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than 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 appointment style, areas of focus, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Petaluma 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 helps you search for psychiatrists and other prescribers who are accepting new patients with your plan, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person options when available. You can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
