Consultations & Clinical Care

The PCWBW provides clinical consultations and evaluations regarding psychotropic medications in pregnancy and lactation, postpartum and antepartum depression and anxiety, and mood disorders specific to the menstrual cycle and menopausal transition. These evaluations can function as a one-time comprehensive consultation only, or as an ongoing resource for patients during a difficult period. Emotional difficulties are those related to pregnancy, postpartum depression, infertility, miscarriage, midlife changes, or chronic or serious illness, as well as symptoms of depression or anxiety, grief or loss, and relationship difficulties. These in-depth psychological and psychiatric evaluations can determine the most appropriate course of treatment. We also work closely with referring physicians to design the best treatment plan for each individual.

Dr. C. Neill Epperson, a national expert on women's mental health issues, founded the center in 2009.  Now the PCWBW is made up of an accomplished group of psychiatrists, psychologists, and administrative and research personnel. Our clinicians provide the option for ongoing management of psychological or psychiatric care using a full range of therapeutic options. These therapeutic options include psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, couples therapy, and psychopharmacology.
