What is Women’s Mental Health & Reproductive Psychiatry?

Women’s Mental Health and Reproductive Psychiatry is a specialized area of psychiatry focused on mental health concerns that are unique to or more common in women and those who identify as women. These concerns are often connected to hormonal changes, reproductive health, and major life transitions, including menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, perimenopause, and menopause. Care may also include support for conditions such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).

This specialized type of psychiatry looks at the connection between reproductive health and emotional well-being, including how hormones, sleep, stress, trauma, medical history, and life changes can impact mental health. Treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and personalized care designed around each person’s symptoms, goals, and stage of life.

Who Can Benefit from Women's Mental Health & Reproductive Psychiatry?

Reproductive and women’s mental health care can support women through pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, and other hormone-related changes. We also support partners who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship changes, or emotional overwhelm during these experiences. Mental health can be affected by every part of the reproductive journey, and support is available for both the person experiencing the physical changes and the people walking through it with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be pregnant or postpartum to see a reproductive psychiatrist?

No. You do not need to be pregnant or postpartum to see a reproductive psychiatrist. Reproductive and women’s mental health care can be helpful during many stages of life, including fertility treatment, pregnancy planning, pregnancy loss, postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, and other hormone-related changes.

You may also benefit from this type of care if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, intrusive thoughts, sleep issues, emotional overwhelm, or changes in mental health that seem connected to your cycle, hormones, reproductive health, or a major life transition.

Do you prescribe hormone replacement therapy?

No, we do not prescribe hormone replacement therapy. Our focus is on psychiatric medications that address mental health concerns related to perimenopause or menopause. If you are interested in hormone therapy, we recommend meeting with a specialist for evaluation. The Menopause Society (https://menopause.org/) is a great resource for finding qualified practitioners and educational materials!

What ages do you treat?

We work with adults, ages 18 and older.

What will my first appointment look like?

Your first visit is typically a 60-minute comprehensive evaluation, available in person at or by telehealth if you live in Minnesota or Wisconsin. During our session, we will discuss your current concerns, psychiatric and medical history, mental health symptoms, and any past treatments you have tried. You are welcome to send prior medical records ahead of time. During this visit, we will ask thoughtful questions and listen closely before recommending a personalized treatment plan that may include psychiatric medication, interventional psychiatry treatment options, psychotherapy referral, or other supportive options.

How often will I need follow-up visits?

It depends on your needs and what we are working on together. After your first visit, most patients follow up within one month, then space visits out over time as symptoms improve. We will create a plan that fits both your treatment goals and your schedule.

Is this talk therapy or medication management?

For this service, we provide psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management for mental health. We do not provide therapy only for just Women’s Mental Health. If you are interested in psychotherapy, or other forms of treatment, we can recommend excellent therapists within The Remedy or help you find a good fit in your community.

Can I schedule an appointment if I am trying to get pregnant or undergoing fertility treatment?

Absolutely. We will create a plan to support your mental health—using medications, psychotherapy, or both—while prioritizing your reproductive goals.

Do you prescribe psychiatric medications during pregnancy or postpartum?

We provide evidence-based psychiatric care during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Together, we will review the risks and benefits of treatment options including medications and develop a plan that supports both your mental health and overall wellness during this important time.

Can I bring my baby or a family member to my appointment?

Yes. You are welcome to bring your baby or a trusted support person to in-person visits if that helps you attend more comfortably. 

Is this a judgment-free space?

Absolutely. Whether you are navigating pregnancy decisions, fertility challenges, parenting, relationships, or career stress, you are welcome here. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, stigma free care that supports your mental health and your vision for your future.
