Naperville Psychiatrist — Psychiatric Care at SamaraCare
Psychiatry services in Naperville, IL and the surrounding Chicagoland areas.
Psychiatric Care in Naperville, IL
If you're looking for a psychiatrist in Naperville, SamaraCare's team of board-certified psychiatrists and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner provide outpatient psychiatric care from our office at 1819 Bay Scott Cir #109. We treat the whole person — psychological, physical, social, and spiritual — and work in close coordination with our counseling team so medication and therapy support each other rather than operating in silos.
What to Expect From Your First Visit
Initial psychiatric evaluations typically run one to two hours. Your Naperville psychiatrist will review your symptoms, psychiatric and social history, and any past treatment or hospitalizations to build an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Follow-up visits are shorter and focus on medication management and progress monitoring.
Conditions We Treat
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Depression and bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders
- ADHD and behavioral disorders
- Sleep disturbances
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Autism spectrum disorder (co-occurring psychiatric needs)
Medication Management
Our psychiatrists carefully tailor treatment plans using the medication classes most appropriate to your diagnosis — including antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and stimulants — always in combination with an eye toward long-term wellbeing, not just symptom suppression.

Naperville Psychiatry FAQ's

No referral is required. You can request an appointment directly through our provider directory or by calling (630) 357-2456.

Psychiatrists (and our psychiatric nurse practitioner) diagnose conditions and manage medication; therapists and counselors provide talk therapy. Many clients work with both, and our providers coordinate care.

Telehealth Options
In-Person and Virtual Counseling
We offer both in-person and/or virtual counseling sessions. Both are HIPAA-compliant. Virtual (on-line) therapy consists of meeting with your therapist via a video conferencing platform on your computer, tablet or phone. Virtual counseling (teletherapy) is a relatively new way to receive care. If you’re thinking about it, here are some benefits to consider:
- Convenience in meeting with a therapist from the comfort of your own home
- No time spent traveling to appointments
- Access to care providers with specialized expertise regardless of their geographic location
Many insurance companies now cover virtual therapy. Always check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage for mental health services.
