What We Treat

Mental health care that understands women

Women's symptoms don't always look textbook — they shift with hormones, life stages, and stress. We're built for that complexity.

😰

Anxiety & Panic

Chronic worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, panic attacks. We look at what's driving it — including hormonal and nervous system factors most providers miss.

Generalized anxiety · Panic disorder · Social anxiety · Health anxiety
😶

Depression

Low mood, numbness, loss of interest, exhaustion. We go beyond a prescription — exploring hormonal, nutritional, and life-stage factors contributing to your depression.

Major depression · Persistent depressive disorder · Seasonal depression
🧠

ADHD in Women

Overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, chronic burnout, difficulty focusing. ADHD in women often looks like anxiety or depression — and gets missed for years. We know what to look for.

Inattentive ADHD · Combined type · Late diagnosis · Hormonal ADHD flares
🤱

Antepartum & Postpartum

Pregnancy and postpartum mood changes deserve dedicated, specialized care — intrusive thoughts, rage, inability to bond, antepartum or postpartum anxiety and depression, treated with breastfeeding-safe options.

🔄

OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

Unwanted, disturbing thoughts you can't shake. Rituals, checking, mental loops. OCD is treatable — and often hormone-sensitive in women. We understand both.

Intrusive thoughts · Contamination OCD · Harm OCD · Postpartum OCD
🌊

Bipolar Disorder

Mood episodes that cycle — highs and lows that disrupt your life. Often misdiagnosed as depression in women, especially when hormonal shifts are involved.

Bipolar I · Bipolar II · Cyclothymia · Hormonal mood cycling
💔

Trauma & PTSD

Past trauma that still shows up in your body and mind — hypervigilance, flashbacks, emotional numbing, difficulty trusting. We provide trauma-informed care in a safe space.

PTSD · Complex PTSD · Birth trauma · Childhood trauma · Relationship trauma
Our Approach vs. Standard Care

This isn't one-size-fits-all psychiatry

✕ Standard Psychiatric Care

✕ Short, rushed appointments
✕ Symptom checklist → prescription
✕ Hormones and life stage ignored
✕ No communication with your other providers
✕ Weeks between appointments, no access between visits
✕ You leave with a pill — and no understanding

✓ Our Whole-Woman Approach

✓ 60-minute initial deep dive
✓ Root-cause assessment across mind, body, and hormones
✓ Hormone-aware, life-stage-informed care
✓ Care Summaries sent to your therapist, OB, or PCP
✓ Frequent follow-ups + secure messaging between visits
✓ You leave understanding what's happening — and why

What to expect, visit by visit

Your first visit is a 60-minute deep dive. After that, follow-up cadence is built into your plan — typically every 2–4 weeks in the beginning while we fine-tune your care, transitioning to monthly once things stabilize. You pre-commit to a schedule instead of booking one visit at a time, and you can always reach us between visits through secure messaging.

Coordinated with your whole care team

With a signed Release of Information, we send a Care Summary to your therapist, OB, or PCP after every visit — including your diagnosis, treatment plan, medication changes, and next steps. We're also available for direct provider-to-provider communication, so your whole care team stays on the same page.

Between visits, you're not on your own

Follow-up cadence is part of your plan from the start — not something you have to ask for. Between scheduled visits, you can reach your care team through secure messaging whenever something comes up.

Questions

Frequently Asked

It means we recognize that women's mental health is shaped by factors most providers overlook — hormones, life-stage transitions, reproductive health, and gender-specific stressors. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we assess you in context: biologically, emotionally, and situationally. Our providers are dual-certified nurse midwives and psychiatric nurse practitioners, which means we understand both your body and your mind.
We treat a wide range of mental health conditions including anxiety, panic, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD and intrusive thoughts, PTSD and complex trauma, perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, and more. Many women come to us without a clear diagnosis — just the sense that something isn't right. You don't need to have it figured out to start.
Standard psychiatric care is often short, symptom-focused, and disconnected from your physical health. We do a 60-minute initial assessment that looks at your mental health alongside hormones, nutrition, physical health, sleep, and life context. We use medication thoughtfully — not automatically. And between visits, you can reach us through secure messaging so you're never left managing things alone.
No. Many of our patients come in simply knowing something feels off. Part of our assessment is helping you understand what's happening and why. If a diagnosis is appropriate, we'll explain it clearly. If it's not clear-cut, we'll still build a plan that addresses what you're experiencing.
Every woman's experience is different. Some notice relief quickly, especially when long-standing patterns finally make sense. Others improve gradually as care is adjusted. We schedule frequent follow-ups, monitor your progress closely, and refine your plan as your needs change — especially during hormonal or life transitions. The goal is sustainable improvement, not a quick fix.
Yes. If you sign a Release of Information (ROI), we send your therapist, OB, or PCP a Care Summary after every visit — including your diagnosis, treatment plan, medication changes, and next steps. We're also available for direct provider-to-provider communication. Your care team stays on the same page.
This care may be a good fit if you've felt dismissed or unheard in past mental health care, if you suspect hormones or life transitions may be affecting your mood, if you want a collaborative approach rather than rushed appointments, or if you value understanding why symptoms are happening — not just treating them. If your concerns are more hormonal or cycle-related, you may also want to explore our Hormonal Mood & Metabolism Care. If you've tried medications that haven't worked, see our Integrative Medication & Support page. If you're unsure, our 3-minute quiz can help you get clarity, or you can book a first visit and we'll figure it out together.
