Women’s Mental Health Services in New Jersey

Women’s Mental Health Treatment in NJ

Specialized psychiatric care for women by board-certified psychiatrists in Red Bank and via telehealth across NJ, NY, and PA

Women’s mental health services at Kolli Psychiatric & Associates provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment tailored to the unique mental health challenges women face throughout their lives. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained psychiatrists understand how hormonal changes, reproductive events, and life transitions affect women’s mental health—from menstrual cycle-related mood changes and PMDD to pregnancy and postpartum depression, perimenopause, and menopause.

We provide expert care for depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and other psychiatric conditions, with specialized expertise in reproductive psychiatry and safe medication management during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Most patients receive a clear diagnosis and personalized treatment plan at the first visit.

Women’s mental health is deeply interconnected with hormonal fluctuations, reproductive life stages, and the unique pressures women face in managing career, family, and personal well-being.

Whether you’re experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, struggling with severe PMS or PMDD, noticing mood changes during perimenopause, dealing with anxiety or depression unrelated to hormones, or wondering if your medication is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, our psychiatrists provide the specialized knowledge and compassionate care you need.

We offer women’s mental health services in-person at our Red Bank office or via secure telehealth throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

What to Expect at Your Women’s Mental Health Evaluation

Your first appointment is a thorough, confidential conversation designed to understand your symptoms in the context of your entire life—including your menstrual cycle, reproductive history, hormonal changes, and life circumstances. This is a judgment-free space where you can openly discuss anything affecting your mental health.

Your psychiatrist will explore:

• Your current symptoms—mood changes, anxiety, irritability, sleep problems, energy levels, difficulty concentrating, or intrusive thoughts
• How symptoms relate to your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum period, or menopause transition
• Your reproductive history—menstrual patterns, pregnancies, postpartum experiences, contraception, fertility treatments, or menopause status
• Hormonal changes and how they affect your mood, energy, sleep, and overall well-being
• If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding—medication safety, symptom management, and planning for postpartum mental health
• Family history of depression, anxiety, postpartum mood disorders, bipolar disorder, or other psychiatric conditions
• Your medical history, including thyroid problems, PCOS, endometriosis, or other conditions that can affect mental health
• Life stressors—work-life balance, caregiver responsibilities, relationship dynamics, major life transitions, or trauma
• Your goals for treatment and what you hope to improve in your daily functioning and quality of life

We’ll work together to:

• Identify an accurate diagnosis—whether it’s postpartum depression, PMDD, anxiety, hormonal mood disorder, or another condition
• Understand the relationship between your hormones and mental health symptoms
• Discuss all treatment options, including medication (with safety considerations for pregnancy/breastfeeding), therapy, and lifestyle modifications
• Create a personalized treatment plan that considers your reproductive health, life stage, and preferences
• Coordinate with your OB/GYN, primary care provider, therapist, or other specialists when beneficial

Many women are relieved to learn that symptoms they’ve been told are “just PMS,” “new mom overwhelm,” or “normal aging” are actually treatable psychiatric conditions that can significantly improve with proper care.

After Your Evaluation: Getting Treatment Started

Most women leave their first evaluation with clarity about what’s been happening and a concrete plan to address it. Here’s what happens next:

Clear diagnosis and explanation – Your psychiatrist will explain your diagnosis, how hormonal or life factors may be contributing, and why specific treatments will help.
Personalized treatment plan – Treatment may include medication (chosen for safety if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding), therapy referrals, cycle-tracking strategies, lifestyle modifications, or coordination with your OB/GYN or endocrinologist.
Medication started same-day if appropriate – If medication is indicated, your prescription will be sent to your pharmacy before you leave. If you’re pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, we’ll choose medications with the best safety profile while effectively treating your symptoms.
Follow-up scheduled in 2-4 weeks – We’ll monitor your response to treatment, adjust medications if needed, and ensure you’re seeing improvement.
Reproductive psychiatry planning – If you’re planning pregnancy, currently pregnant, or postpartum, we’ll create a comprehensive plan for managing your mental health throughout this transition.
Coordination with your healthcare team – We work closely with your OB/GYN, midwife, therapist, or primary care doctor to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.

Women’s mental health conditions are highly treatable. With the right diagnosis and treatment plan, most women experience significant improvement in mood, energy, anxiety levels, and overall quality of life.

Why Women Choose Kolli Psychiatric for Mental Health Care

Psychiatrists who specialize in women’s mental health

Our board-certified psychiatrists have extensive training and expertise in reproductive psychiatry, hormonal mood disorders, and the unique ways psychiatric conditions present across women’s lifespans. We understand the complex interplay between hormones, reproductive events, and mental health—and provide treatment that addresses the whole picture.

Expert medication management during pregnancy and breastfeeding

We specialize in safe medication management for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Many psychiatric medications can be used safely during pregnancy and postpartum when the benefits outweigh the risks—and untreated mental health conditions during pregnancy carry their own risks. We’ll help you make informed decisions about treatment that prioritize both your mental health and your baby’s wellbeing.

Specialized care for postpartum depression and anxiety

Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders are common, treatable, and nothing to feel ashamed about. We provide expert evaluation and treatment for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, and postpartum psychosis. Early intervention leads to better outcomes for both you and your baby. We also offer preventive planning for women with a history of postpartum mood disorders who are planning another pregnancy.

Treatment for PMDD and menstrual-related mood disorders

If you experience severe mood changes, irritability, anxiety, or depression in the week or two before your period, you may have PMDD or premenstrual exacerbation of an underlying mood disorder. We provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, which may include medication, cycle tracking, and coordination with your gynecologist. You don’t have to suffer through debilitating symptoms every month.

Perimenopause and menopause mental health support

The transition to menopause can trigger depression, anxiety, mood swings, sleep problems, and cognitive changes even in women who’ve never had mental health issues before. We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for perimenopause and menopause-related mood symptoms, including medication management and coordination with your healthcare providers managing hormonal changes.

Same-day treatment plans

You won’t wait weeks for answers. Most women receive a diagnosis and initial treatment plan during the first visit. If medication is appropriate, we’ll prescribe it the same day and schedule follow-up to monitor your response.

Convenient Red Bank location plus telehealth

Choose from in-person visits at our Red Bank office or meet with your psychiatrist via secure telehealth from anywhere in New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania. Telehealth is especially helpful for new moms, busy professionals, or anyone who prefers the convenience of appointments from home.

Collaborative, whole-person care

We consider the full context of your life—hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, caregiver stress, relationship dynamics, work pressures, and physical health—when creating your treatment plan. We also coordinate care with your OB/GYN, therapist, primary care doctor, and other providers to ensure everyone is working together.

Insurance-friendly out-of-network practice

We partner with Thrizer to handle your out-of-network insurance billing. Many women receive significant reimbursement and only pay their copay after meeting their deductible. You get specialized psychiatric care without the limitations of in-network practices.

Specialized Treatment for Women’s Mental Health Conditions: From Postpartum to Perimenopause

We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for the full spectrum of women’s mental health concerns, with particular expertise in conditions related to reproductive hormones and life transitions.

Postpartum depression and anxiety are among the most common complications of childbirth, affecting up to 1 in 5 new mothers. Symptoms include persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, difficulty bonding with your baby, intrusive thoughts, sleep problems beyond normal newborn sleep deprivation, and feelings of inadequacy or hopelessness. Postpartum depression is highly treatable with medication, therapy, and support—and treatment helps you be the mother you want to be.

Postpartum OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts about harm coming to your baby, often accompanied by compulsive checking behaviors or avoidance. These thoughts are distressing and feel completely at odds with your love for your baby. Postpartum OCD is treatable and more common than many people realize.

PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a severe form of PMS involving debilitating mood symptoms—depression, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, hopelessness—in the week or two before menstruation. Symptoms resolve shortly after your period starts. PMDD significantly impacts work, relationships, and quality of life, but it’s highly responsive to treatment with medication and cycle tracking.

Menstrual cycle-related mood changes include premenstrual exacerbation of underlying depression or anxiety, where psychiatric symptoms worsen significantly before your period even if they’re manageable the rest of the month. Understanding this pattern allows us to tailor treatment to your cycle.

Perimenopause and menopause-related mood symptoms can include new-onset depression or anxiety, mood swings, irritability, brain fog, insomnia, and panic attacks during the menopausal transition. Fluctuating hormones affect neurotransmitters in the brain, triggering psychiatric symptoms even in women with no prior mental health history. Psychiatric treatment can provide significant relief while you navigate this transition.

Depression in women can occur at any life stage and may be influenced by hormonal changes, reproductive events, trauma, stress, or biological factors. Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression. Symptoms include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep and appetite, low energy, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness.

Anxiety disorders in women include generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and health anxiety. Women often experience anxiety related to caregiver responsibilities, work-life balance, perfectionism, or worry about family members. Anxiety can also be triggered or worsened by hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause.

Medication management during pregnancy requires specialized expertise to balance the risks of untreated mental illness with the risks of medication exposure. Untreated depression and anxiety during pregnancy carry real risks—including preterm birth, low birth weight, and postpartum complications. We help you make informed decisions about whether to continue, stop, or start psychiatric medications during pregnancy based on your individual situation.

ADHD in women is often underdiagnosed because women tend to have less obvious hyperactivity and develop strong coping mechanisms that mask symptoms until demands become overwhelming. Many women aren’t diagnosed until adulthood, often when managing motherhood, career, and household responsibilities becomes impossible to juggle. We provide comprehensive ADHD evaluation and treatment for women.

Trauma and PTSD in women may result from sexual assault, domestic violence, childhood trauma, difficult childbirth experiences, pregnancy loss, or other traumatic events. Trauma can significantly impact mental health, relationships, and physical wellbeing. We provide psychiatric evaluation and treatment, including medication management and therapy referrals.

OCD in women often involves specific themes related to harm, contamination, or perfectionism. Symptoms may worsen during pregnancy or postpartum. Treatment typically includes medication and therapy referrals for exposure and response prevention.
Bipolar disorder in women can be triggered or worsened by hormonal changes, pregnancy, or postpartum. Women with bipolar disorder require specialized medication management during pregnancy and postpartum to prevent mood episodes while ensuring medication safety.

Signs You Should See a Women’s Mental Health Psychiatrist in Red Bank, NJ

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from psychiatric care. Many women wait until they’re overwhelmed, but early intervention leads to better outcomes.

Consider seeking psychiatric care if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent sadness, anxiety, or mood changes that interfere with daily life
• Severe PMS or mood symptoms that consistently worsen before your period
• Difficulty bonding with your baby or intrusive thoughts about harm after childbirth
• Mood swings, irritability, depression, or anxiety during perimenopause or menopause
• Panic attacks, excessive worry, or physical symptoms of anxiety
• Sleep problems beyond normal sleep deprivation from newborn care
• Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
• Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities or unable to manage daily tasks
• Intrusive, repetitive thoughts or compulsive behaviors
• Concerns about whether your current psychiatric medication is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Planning pregnancy and wanting to optimize your mental health treatment beforehand
• History of postpartum depression and planning another pregnancy
• Difficulty concentrating, staying organized, or managing time (possible ADHD)
• Emotional or behavioral changes that don’t feel like yourself

If any of this resonates with you, psychiatric evaluation can provide clarity and effective treatment. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

Compassionate Women’s Mental Health Care in Red Bank and Monmouth County

Many women in Red Bank, Freehold, Marlboro, and throughout Monmouth County feel guilty about prioritizing their mental health, especially mothers who feel they should be able to “handle everything.” Here’s the truth:

Taking care of your mental health is taking care of your family. When you’re struggling with untreated depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions, it affects your ability to be present, patient, and engaged. Getting treatment isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Postpartum mood disorders aren’t your fault. They’re medical conditions caused by hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and biological vulnerability. Women throughout New Jersey seek our care because they recognize that asking for help is a sign of strength, not failure.

You don’t have to suffer through hormonal mood changes. Severe PMS, PMDD, and perimenopause symptoms are treatable medical conditions. Women in Monmouth County no longer accept feeling terrible for one or two weeks every month—and neither should you.

Medication during pregnancy isn’t automatically dangerous. For many women, continuing or starting psychiatric medication during pregnancy is the safest choice for both mother and baby. Untreated mental illness carries its own risks, and many medications have excellent safety data. Our reproductive psychiatry expertise helps you make informed decisions.

Unlike general practitioners or nurse practitioners, our psychiatrists have advanced training in:

14. What is PMDD and how is it different from regular PMS?

PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a severe form of PMS involving significant mood symptoms—depression, hopelessness, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, difficulty concentrating—that occur in the week or two before menstruation and resolve shortly after your period starts. Unlike regular PMS, PMDD significantly impairs work, relationships, and daily functioning. PMDD is a psychiatric condition related to how your brain responds to normal hormonal fluctuations. It’s highly responsive to treatment with certain antidepressants, hormonal approaches, or cycle tracking combined with medication.

15. How do I know if my mood changes are hormonal or a mental health condition?

Your psychiatrist will help you understand the relationship between your hormones and mental health symptoms by asking detailed questions about when symptoms occur, how they relate to your menstrual cycle or life stage, and your symptom patterns over time. Sometimes mood changes are primarily hormone-driven (like PMDD), sometimes there’s an underlying psychiatric condition that worsens premenstrually, and sometimes hormonal changes trigger a new mental health condition. Accurate diagnosis guides effective treatment.

16. Where can I find treatment for hormonal mood disorders near me?

Yes. The menopausal transition can trigger depression, anxiety, mood swings, irritability, panic attacks, and cognitive changes even in women with no prior mental health history. Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels affect serotonin, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters in the brain. Our psychiatrists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for perimenopause and menopause-related mood symptoms.

23. Can you diagnose and treat ADHD in women?

Yes. ADHD in women is often underdiagnosed because women tend to have less obvious hyperactivity and develop strong coping mechanisms that mask symptoms. Many women aren’t diagnosed until adulthood when demands increase—managing career, household, children, and relationships simultaneously becomes overwhelming. We conduct thorough ADHD evaluations and provide medication management with both stimulant and non-stimulant options. ADHD treatment often dramatically improves organization, time management, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities.

24. Will I be prescribed medication at the first visit?

If medication is clinically appropriate for your condition, your psychiatrist can prescribe it during your first visit. We’ll discuss how the medication works, potential side effects, safety considerations if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, and what to expect. Not every patient needs medication, and we’ll only recommend it when it’s the right clinical choice. Many women benefit significantly from medication for depression, anxiety, PMDD, postpartum mood disorders, or other conditions.

25. Can I do my evaluation via telehealth?

Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth evaluations for women throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Many women prefer telehealth because it eliminates travel time, is more convenient for busy schedules, and allows new mothers to have appointments without arranging childcare. Telehealth visits are clinically equivalent to in-person appointments for psychiatric evaluation and medication management.

26. How do you coordinate care with my OB/GYN or other providers?

We believe in collaborative care and work closely with your OB/GYN, midwife, primary care doctor, therapist, or other specialists when beneficial.

We partner with Thrizer to handle your insurance billing, and many patients receive significant reimbursement. After meeting your deductible, you often only pay your copay for visits. We provide detailed superbills for all major insurance carriers.

We typically have availability for new patient evaluations within 1-2 weeks. Call our office at [PHONE NUMBER] or request an appointment online, and our team will match you with a psychiatrist who specializes in women’s mental health—either in-person at our Red Bank office or via telehealth.
