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.

I’ve worked with veterans, college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, people experiencing homelessness, and patients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and severe mental illness.
I primarily provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management while integrating supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies into visits. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in helping people improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life.
I look forward to getting to know you.

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 Santa Clarita
Finding psychiatrists in Santa Clarita starts with knowing what type of support fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication plans. Therapists focus on talk therapy and may support concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder in a different way. Both can be valid entry points, depending on what you want help with. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match the care you’re seeking.
In a mid-size area like Santa Clarita, your options may include offices near Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, Newhall, Valencia, and nearby parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a psychiatrist whose schedule, focus, and availability match yours. Psychiatric medication management visits 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 each bio for details on appointment style, areas of focus, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in Santa Clarita 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 an appointment. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and fits your schedule.
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.
