As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with five years of experience treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, my ideal client is someone who is navigating the complexities of mental health challenges, such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, or trauma-related issues. These individuals often feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggle with daily functioning, and may experience a sense of hopelessness or isolation. They need not only clinical expertise but also empathy, support, and a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-C, FNP-C
Winter Park, FL 32792
I have experience in identifying and treating perinatal mood disorders, depression, anxieties, bipolar disorder, insomnia, the struggles with transitioning from adolescents to adulthood (young adults), and peri-post menopausal women.
Anamaria Shanley has been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner since 2005 in the Orlando area. I have worked in the areas of Women's Health, Primary Care, Behavioral Neurology, and Psychiatry. I draw on my experience to get to know my patients holistically to therefore develop a plan of care that works for each individual. I've had difficulty finding Psychiatric providers for my patients through the years and for this reason, as well as my interest in behavior and psychopharmacology, I sought additional education and national certification in Psychiatry.

FAQ - Perinatal and Postpartum Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with perinatal mental health?
Perinatal mental health refers to the period during pregnancy and the 12 months following childbirth when individuals may experience mental health conditions such as postpartum depression or anxiety. These conditions can arise due to a combination of factors, including hormonal shifts, changes in sleep and stress levels, and relational or social challenges associated with pregnancy and caring for a newborn. Individuals with a personal or family history of mental health conditions, or those who experience complicated or traumatic pregnancies or deliveries, may be at higher risk. However, perinatal mental health conditions are treatable—often through behavioral therapy and, when appropriate, medication.

What does psychiatric treatment for perinatal mental health involve?
Psychiatrists who specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health understand the unique psychological and physiological changes that occur during and after pregnancy. They are trained in evidence-based treatments, including safe medication options for use during pregnancy and lactation. Because symptoms can range from mild to severe, care typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess symptom severity and determine an appropriate treatment plan. Psychiatrists often collaborate with other providers—such as OB/GYNs, primary care physicians, and social workers—to ensure coordinated care.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in perinatal mental health?
Not all psychiatrists have specific expertise in perinatal mental health, so selecting a provider with relevant experience is important. The Psychology Today directory offers search filters to identify psychiatrists with specialization in perinatal care and allows users to refine results based on identity preferences, insurance, and location. When considering a provider, it can be helpful to ask about their experience with pregnancy-related mental health concerns, their therapeutic and pharmacologic approach, and how they coordinate with other members of a care team. It is also important to consider practical factors such as availability for appointments and insurance coverage.
