About Dr. Rana Clarizio
Dr. Rana J. Clarizio, DNP, PMHNP-BC, CDCES, MSN-Edu, is a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of experience caring for patients. She is also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. Few psychiatric providers have training in both, and that combination shapes everything about how she practices.
Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions rarely exist on their own. Blood sugar, weight, sleep, nutrition, and medications all affect mood and energy, and mental health in turn affects how people care for their bodies. Too often, these pieces are treated in separate offices by separate providers. Dr. Clarizio founded Integrative Care Psychiatry to bring them together, treating the mind and body as one connected system.
That is why her appointments are longer and her treatment plans are personal. She takes time to listen, explains her reasoning clearly, and works with each patient as a partner. Her care includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and support for metabolic health and weight concerns.
Dr. Clarizio is fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, so many patients can speak with her directly in the language they are most comfortable with. She sees patients at her office in Hinsdale and through secure telehealth across Illinois.
