Many of my clients are dealing with depression, anxiety, other mood changes, or ADHD symptoms and want a provider who will take the time to understand their whole story and work together to find a treatment plan that truly fits their life. I'm Carly, and with a background as a nurse-midwife, I offer a unique perspective on how mental health is influenced by the reproductive life cycle—from adolescence and contraception decisions to pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. I’m especially attuned to how hormonal changes and life transitions can affect emotional well-being (like struggles with menstrual or perimenopausal shifts).

FAQ - Psychiatrists for Women's Issues
How can psychiatrists help women with gender-specific mental health challenges?
Women can face a variety of unique mental health challenges that they may seek psychiatric support for, such as reproductive and perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, menopause, body image concerns, and other conditions that intersect with gender-based experiences. Psychiatrists with specific expertise in working with women can offer treatment for these conditions, often through medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. While not all psychiatrists who specialize in women's issues are female, some women find that they are most comfortable seeing a female psychiatrist, as they may feel more supported by someone who has shared life experiences and perspectives.

What does psychiatric treatment for women's issues involve?
Because women's issues encompass a variety of concerns, the course of treatment recommended by a psychiatrist will vary. However, psychiatrists will often begin treatment with an assessment of a client's current symptoms and recommend a treatment plan according to the assessment findings. Treatment often includes a combination of psychotherapy and medication, depending on the nature of the concern and the individual's goals. For example, a psychiatrist might use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or interpersonal therapy (IPT) to help clients explore and address challenges related to identity, relationships, parenting, or past trauma. For those experiencing mood changes related to hormonal fluctuations—such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or perinatal depression—medication may also be considered to help stabilize mood. In many cases, psychiatrists will coordinate with other healthcare providers, such as OB-GYNs or primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in women's issues?
Psychology Today's online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by treatment specialty and gender, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who treat women's issues and identify as female. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees.
