Diana Lankenau has a Master of Science in Nursing from Florida State University and Chamberlain University. She has a Bachelor's in nursing from University of Miami. BA in Psychology from Florida International University. She is Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC).
My practice centers on helping people work through depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder with care that actually fits their life. I've been in independent practice for about two years, and in that time I've found that the providers people stay with are the ones who listen well and adjust as things change. I'm a PMHNP with full practice authority, so I can manage medications and provide psychiatric services without a collaborating physician. I see clients via telehealth throughout Illinois, with flexible scheduling available Monday through Saturday. If you've been waiting to find someone who's approachable and genuinely wants to get you moving in the right direction, I'd like to be that person.
I am an experienced and board certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner (FNP and PMHNP) and hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I will join you on your journey to wellness. Everyone is unique and requires an individualized and comprehensive approach. Appointments are available in Telehealth format.

Frequently asked questions
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 Joliet
Finding psychiatrists in Joliet starts with understanding what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be used for concerns such as anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical background, and approach match the type of support you’re seeking.
In a smaller city like Joliet, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Illinois markets, so virtual psychiatry can help expand your search. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which makes availability, appointment format, and scheduling fit important to consider. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading psychiatrist bios before booking can help you see what each clinician treats, how they structure visits, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Joliet can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and can verify whether they take your plan. You can compare virtual and in-person options, review 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.
