Davena Beal
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, APN, PMH-NP
Lombard, IL 60148
Not accepting new clients
I have 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse working in inpatient psychiatry with the child and adolescent population from 1998-2016, and almost 4 years of experience as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, thought disorders, and ADHD.
After 20 years of working in the mental health field, I have learned that although psychotherapy can be a life changing experience, it is not always enough to adequately manage mental health symptoms. When patients are still experiencing debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, or difficulty with concentration, then psychotropic medications may be beneficial. Medications may bring patients relief from overwhelming worry or panic symptoms, low mood and motivation, and mood swings or irritability.

I support caregivers, children, first responders, and those facing trauma, grief, or stress.
If you're overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and standard approaches haven't brought relief, you’re not alone. Many of my patients long for clarity, balance, and a path that honors their unique biology. They want a compassionate partner to explore both evidence‑based medication and underlying factors like nutrition, hormones, and genetics. They’re seeking holistic mental health care that goes beyond symptom management to restore overall wellbeing.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
