Our holistic approach to care

As part of our holistic approach to support at Seven Starling, we recommend an initial Medical Evaluation with our specialist team of Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners. Understanding the full picture behind the way you're feeling is part of ensuring you have a personalized and comprehensive care plan.

Hormonal changes and medical conditions such as thyroid issues can contribute to mood disorders like depression and anxiety. About 30% of women suffering from maternal mental health challenges can benefit from a combination of both therapy and medication.

Most care teams at Seven Starling include a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). We’re proud to be able to offer this integrated support as part of our holistic approach to care.

‍Note: At this time we’re not able to offer medications to pregnant patients. If you’re pregnant and think you might benefit from medication, please consult your OB care provider.
