Louisa Olushoga
Psychiatrist, MD
Serves Area
I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders across all stages of a woman's life: premenstrual symptoms, pregnancy and postpartum, infertility, and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause.
My clients are often high-functioning on the outside, privately struggling, and navigating a transition—a career shift, relationship change, loss, or a season that's harder than expected. They want a psychiatrist who listens and considers the whole person: mind, body, and the deeper sense of meaning that shapes how we experience everything else.

Licensed health care provider in Indiana and Illinois, I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for women 18+ with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and perinatal/ postpartum concerns.
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.

Cynthia Jo Neal
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP
Westchester, IL 60154
Many of my clients complain of feeling stuck in their present thought processes. They face internal conflicts both big and small. They are aware of the way they want to react to situations and approach life, but often they feel sabotaged by destructive ways of thinking. Often these patterns have developed because of traumatic experiences that have occurred over time. Because of these thought processes, individuals can feel symptoms of anxiety and depression. People usually suffer in silence for years without anyone around them having any indication of their internal battle. This can lead to a strong sense of isolation.

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.
