Our highly experienced, all-woman staff sees women 18 years and older on an outpatient basis.

We provide preconception counseling for the management of mental health disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

We also offer a program in mindfulness-based stress reduction. This eight-week program is designed to help women navigate daily stressors and meet life's challenges with greater ease and balance of mind, body and spirit. Learn more about mindfulness-based stress reduction.

As part of the Women's Medicine Collaborative, our staff includes board-certified psychiatrists and social workers who work together with our patients' other medical providers.

Our team approach to care and specialized behavioral health training gives us the expertise to successfully diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of psychiatric conditions during a woman's life cycle.
