WHAT TO EXPECT
One intake.
A team behind you.
Support that fits your life.
Most women wind up piecing together their mental healthcare: Psychiatry in one place, hormone testing in another, wellness support somewhere else...we're expected to make sense of it all.
But your care shouldn’t depend on juggling multiple clinics or repeating your story again and again.
At Dahlia Center, your psychiatric provider, hormonal specialist, and wellness support team work together so your care finally feels connected.
STEP 1:
Intake Assessment
You'll begin with a virtual Intake Assessment: a gentle, judgment-free space to talk through what's going on and what you're hoping to change. Our Intake Coordinators are clinically trained, they're not schedulers. They bring real mental health expertise to your first conversation, which means your intake is already part of your care.
Our Intake Coordinator will:
-
​Learn about your current concerns, health history, and goals
-
Review symptoms and any existing diagnosis
-
Discuss available services and help determine which care options are the best fit
-
Answer your questions honestly
-
Match you with the right provider or combination of providers based on your needs, preferences, and availability
​
A heads up: there's some paperwork involved before your intake appointment. We ask for it upfront because it helps us focus your time with us on what actually matters to you, rather than spending your first appointment on forms and history. The more we know going in, the more useful we can be from day one.
STEP 2:
Your Personalized
Care Team
You'll be matched with one or more of our team members:
Women's Mental Health
Our psychiatric team offers comprehensive, trauma-informed, neuro-affirming mental health care tailored to women and LGBTQIA+ individuals across the reproductive lifespan. We provide both medication and non-medication options to support mood, emotional resilience, and overall well-being, grounded in a collaborative, person-centered approach.
Hormonal Health
Our hormonal health team specializes in helping women and LGBTQIA+ individuals restore balance and vitality through personalized hormone optimization. We combine advanced testing with both conventional and natural therapies to address the root causes of hormonal imbalances, supporting you through every stage of your reproductive journey.
Whole-Body Integrative Care
Our integrative wellness team helps translate your care plan into real-life strategies and sustainable routines by supporting you in areas like nutrition, stress management, nervous system regulation, and follow-through. We also work at the intersection of physical and mental health, addressing how chronic conditions, hormonal shifts, and whole-body factors affect emotional well-being. Whether you're building new habits or navigating complex health challenges, this layer of care helps everything connect.
