Philosophy
"Each transition tells a story. We help patients understand their stories, contextualize symptoms, and build steady, compassionate care plans."
Scope of Practice

- Mood and anxiety symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum period
- Premenstrual mood and anxiety symptoms
- Mental health concerns related to fertility treatment or pregnancy loss
- Perimenopausal and menopausal mood, sleep, and anxiety symptoms
- Attention and focus concerns in adult women
- Stress, burnout, and adjustment during major life transitions
Care is personalized, evidence-informed, and provided via secure telepsychiatry to patients located in New York.
Sera Psychiatry for Women does not provide emergency psychiatric services, crisis intervention, inpatient hospitalization, intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programs, court-ordered or forensic evaluations, fitness-for-duty assessments, or disability determinations. Patients who require a higher level of care will be referred to appropriate local or regional services.
If you are unsure whether your concerns are a good fit for this practice, this can be discussed during an initial consultation.
