Insurance and self-pay details

The Google Calendar link schedules a 15-minute introductory phone call with our administrative team or, sometimes, the doctor. It is not a psychiatric evaluation or a guarantee of acceptance as a patient. We discuss fit and next steps before a clinical appointment is arranged.

Quick answer

Women's mental health care at SLS Psychiatry focuses on mood and anxiety symptoms across reproductive life stages — including pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. The CDC estimates about 1 in 8 women who recently gave birth experience symptoms of postpartum depression. Care includes evaluation and medication management with careful attention to risks and benefits during pregnancy and lactation.
