As a woman who wears many hats, I understand the emotional complexity and life transitions many women face. Many women I work with are used to being the strong one for everyone else while balancing careers, relationships, motherhood, and major life changes. Behind the scenes, they may be quietly managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or emotional overwhelm. Many women reach out saying, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” describing worry, difficulty focusing, mood changes, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or exhaustion. Let’s get you back to you. Boundaries are a powerful tool for protecting your peace and creating balance.

I am Julia Johnson, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in women's mental health, anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum care, trauma-informed care, life transitions, women veterans including Military Sexual Trauma (MST). Women’s mental health deserves more than a rushed appointment and a prescription.

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.
