Janie E. Daria, MSN, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC

I am an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN). I specialize in pediatric mental health as an inpatient psychiatric nurse practitioner. I am passionate about working with children and their families during stressful times when they most need help. I am drawn to the possibility of changing the course of a child’s illness by providing medication and behavioral therapeutic interventions.

My approach to treatment is to meet children and their families where they are in their mental health journeys. I provide care that often includes treatment with medication that can affect behavior, mood and thoughts (psychotropic) to help patients better manage their symptoms. I am also very open and understanding when families and patients have concerns about using these medications. My goal is not to medicate patients. It is to educate them so they can make informed decisions.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy running, reading and spending time with my family.
