Postpartum and perinatal depression and anxiety
Mood and anxiety changes during pregnancy and after birth, including the ones that arrive months later or that nobody warned you about.
Women's mental health
Mental health care for women, at every stage
Hormones, life stages and the load women carry change how depression, anxiety and ADHD show up — and how often they are missed. We treat the whole picture, not one diagnosis at a time.
What we treat
Care built around the stage you are in
PMDD and mood changes across the cycle
When the week before your period brings irritability, despair or panic that lifts once it starts, that pattern is treatable.
Perimenopause and menopause
Mood, sleep and anxiety changes that come with shifting hormones, treated alongside whatever else is going on in your life.
ADHD in women
Often diagnosed late, because it looks different: overwhelm, disorganization and exhaustion more than hyperactivity.
Anxiety, trauma and eating concerns
Care that starts with your whole history and does not stop at one diagnosis.
Telehealth or in person
Secure video visits in 33 jurisdictions, in-person care in Fairfax, and a care team you can message 24/7.
How care works
Your first visit starts with your whole story: what you have tried, what happened, and what you want to change. Medication choices during pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause are discussed with your prescriber, not assumed. Between visits, you can message your care team any time.
Common questions
Can I take psychiatric medication while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Often, yes. Which medication, at what dose and when is a decision you make with your prescriber, weighing your symptoms against the risks of treating and of not treating. We discuss it plainly and revisit it as your situation changes.
Do you treat PMDD and menopause-related mood changes?
Yes. Both respond to psychiatric care, and we coordinate with your OB-GYN or primary care clinician when hormonal treatment is part of the picture.
I was never diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Is it too late?
No. Many women are first diagnosed as adults. An evaluation looks at your history, your current symptoms and what has already been tried before any treatment is discussed.
