Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Psychiatrists in Astoria, NY
My path to psychiatry was shaped by caring for individuals recovering from serious illness and trauma, where I saw that meaningful healing extends beyond just symptom relief. What stayed with me most were the conversations about identity, purpose, relationships, and returning to a life that felt fulfilling. Those experiences continue to shape my practice and reinforced my belief that exceptional psychiatric care requires both clinical expertise and a deep understanding of the person behind the diagnosis.

My role is to sit with you, listen carefully, and help straighten out the things that feel complicated. Together, we’ll look at what’s working, what’s weighing you down, and what tools might make things feel lighter. I don’t approach every patient the same way. Some patients need structure and clear strategies, others do better with space to process, and many need a combination of both. We'll work together to figure out what feels right, whether that’s medication, therapy, or a combination.
I try to bring the same mix of professionalism and humanity that I would want if I were the one sitting across from a doctor.

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.
