AREAS OF CARE
Support shaped to where you are now.
Specialized psychiatric care for women navigating work and family-related stressors complex mood changes, perimenopause, and perinatal mental health challenges via telehealth. Led by a Harvard- and Duke-trained board-certified psychiatrist.
WHY GENERAL & REPRODUCTIVE PSYCHIATRY?
Psychiatric symptoms can intensify or emerge during hormonal fluctuations and the journey to parenthood or menopause
Changes in reproductive health can affect your general emotional and physical well-being. Infertility can bring prolonged sadness, uncertainty, and treatment-related stress. During pregnancy, symptoms and medication needs may change. After birth, sleep disruption and rapid physical and life changes can increase the risk of a nervous breakdown or a psychiatic emergency. Perimenopause can also affect mood and sleep, while chronic stress may influence reproductive health and fertility.
Reproductive psychiatry brings an understanding of these transitions into general psychiatric care. By anticipating periods of vulnerability, recognizing symptoms early, and coordinating with primary or obstetric care when needed, treatment can support mental health through every stage of life.
