Women experience a wide range of emotional challenges tied to life transitions, caregiving roles, hormonal shifts, and social expectations. Psychiatric support that honors this complexity can help women find clarity, steadiness, and connection throughout the many stages of life.
Dr. Anna Wachtel, MD provides thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care for women facing emotional difficulties related to identity, relationships, reproductive health, and resilience. Her integrative approach combines psychotherapy and medication management in a warm, respectful, and culturally sensitive setting.
Whether you’re managing stress related to infertility, adjusting to postpartum changes, navigating mood shifts during perimenopause, or struggling with low self-worth or burnout, this is a space to feel seen and supported. Each woman’s experience is unique, and treatment is adapted to reflect your values, needs, and goals.
Areas of Focus
- Depression, low mood, and emotional exhaustion
- Infertility-related stress and grief
- Pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders
- Miscarriage, loss, and reproductive transitions
- Anxiety, panic, and burnout
- Body image and disordered eating
- Relationship strain and emotional isolation
- Perimenopause, menopause, and midlife shifts
- Identity, boundaries, and self-worth
Support may be needed during a time of intense transition or simply as part of maintaining emotional health. Dr. Wachtel works collaboratively, always prioritizing your pace, privacy, and personal history. This is a space for reflection, grounding, and growth—whether you are new to care or returning after time away.
Appointments are available both in-person on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and via secure telepsychiatry for women throughout New York City.
