Evidence-based psychiatric care for women and gender-diverse adults.
At Dahlia Center, we provide expert psychiatric care tailored to the unique mental health needs of women and gender-diverse adults across adulthood. Our Women’s Psychiatric services are designed for individuals experiencing a wide range of psychiatric conditions—whether related to life stressors, trauma, or ongoing mental health disorders.
We understand that mental health is complex—shaped not only by brain chemistry, but also by hormones, life experiences, identity, and systemic pressures. Our approach is collaborative, affirming, and designed to treat the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
Common conditions we treat include:
-
Depression and persistent depressive symptoms
-
Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety
-
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
-
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma
-
Bipolar disorder
-
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Autism in women and AFAB adults
-
Sleep disturbances and insomnia
-
Emotional dysregulation and chronic overwhelm
We understand that many women and gender-diverse individuals are misdiagnosed, overlooked, or dismissed in traditional psychiatric settings. At Dahlia Center, we take the time to listen deeply, understand your lived experience, and co-create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.
Treatment options may include:
​
-
Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
-
Thoughtful medication management (including when to start, pause, or taper)
-
Psychoeducation and supportive therapy approaches
-
Mind-body strategies for mood regulation and stress resilience
-
Coordination with wellness coordinators, dietitians, or therapists as needed
Many of our clients are looking for non-medication or complementary options—and we’re here to support that. Our team integrates nutrition, sleep, movement, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation into treatment planning whenever appropriate. While medication is available, it’s never the only option.
​
We are committed to shared decision-making, comprehensive support, and responsiveness—adapting care to your needs as they change over time. Whether you're experiencing burnout, navigating trauma, exploring ADHD or bipolar disorder, or simply seeking a provider who listens, we’re here with care that is compassionate, inclusive, and deeply human.
Compassionate psychiatric care during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
At Dahlia Center, we provide specialized mental health support for individuals navigating the emotional complexities of the perinatal period—including pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and loss. Our Perinatal Mental Health services are designed for women and gender-diverse adults experiencing mood, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms during one of life’s most intense and transformative times.
We understand that the perinatal period can bring both joy and vulnerability—and that not all pregnancies or postpartum experiences feel the way they’re “supposed” to. Whether you’re struggling with distressing thoughts, emotional numbness, panic, rage, or grief, we’re here to listen and help you find relief.
We provide psychiatric support for:
​
-
Depression during pregnancy or postpartum
-
Postpartum anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts
-
Perinatal OCD
-
Birth trauma or medical trauma during pregnancy or delivery
-
Grief and emotional recovery after miscarriage, stillbirth, or loss
-
Mental health support during abortion or high-risk pregnancy
-
Fertility-related anxiety or mood symptoms
-
Postpartum rage, overwhelm, or emotional disconnection
Our providers have advanced training in perinatal and reproductive psychiatry, and we understand how to safely and effectively treat psychiatric symptoms during pregnancy and lactation. We offer detailed medication counseling, risk-benefit planning, and support for individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions who are preparing to conceive or navigating postpartum relapse prevention.
Our approach includes:
​
-
Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
-
Medication management (with a focus on reproductive safety and shared decision-making)
-
Psychoeducation on hormonal and emotional changes during the perinatal period
-
Non-medication strategies such as sleep support, nervous system regulation, and partner/family dynamics
-
Coordination with OB/GYNs, midwives, doulas, lactation consultants, and therapists for collaborative care
We also welcome individuals seeking care after traumatic or complicated experiences—whether you’re several weeks or several years postpartum. The perinatal period doesn’t end at six weeks, and neither does our support.
​
At Dahlia Center, we believe perinatal mental health deserves the same depth of attention as physical recovery. We’re here to offer inclusive, trauma-informed care that helps you feel more like yourself—so you can bond, heal, and move forward with strength and support.
Compassionate psychiatric support for individuals planning pregnancy.
At Dahlia Center, we offer Preconception Counseling for women and gender-diverse adults who are preparing for pregnancy and want to better understand how their mental health—and their mental health treatment—might impact conception, pregnancy, and postpartum wellness.
Whether you’re already taking psychiatric medication, considering starting or stopping treatment, or simply want to develop a proactive emotional care plan, we’re here to support you with clear, compassionate, and personalized guidance.
What We Help With:
-
Psychiatric medication counseling before conception
-
Assessing risks and benefits of continuing or tapering medications
-
Planning for emotional resilience during pregnancy and postpartum
-
Preventing relapse of depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder
-
Support for individuals with prior pregnancy-related trauma or mood instability
-
Coordination with fertility providers, OB/GYNs, or midwives
-
Guidance on lifestyle and hormonal factors that may affect mental health
What to Expect:
​
Preconception counseling is a collaborative, one-on-one consultation with one of our psychiatric providers. We’ll review your current and past mental health history, medications, hormonal health, and wellness priorities—and help you create a plan that balances your emotional needs with your reproductive goals.
For clients already on medication, we provide:
-
Detailed risk-benefit discussion of continuing vs. stopping medication
-
Overview of medication safety in pregnancy and lactation
-
Strategies for monitoring symptoms and preventing relapse

Ongoing care options before, during, and after pregnancy
For clients hoping to conceive naturally or via fertility treatment, we also offer support in managing:
-
Hormonal mood sensitivity (e.g., PMDD or cycle-linked depression)
-
Stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation during fertility treatment
-
Grief or fear following previous losses, miscarriages, or difficult pregnancies
A Team-Based Approach
Our psychiatric providers work closely with your OB/GYN, midwife, fertility team, or therapist when needed—and collaborate internally with our hormonal care providers, wellness coordinators, and dietitian to offer whole-person, wraparound care. Whether you're planning your first pregnancy or growing your family after a difficult experience, we’re here to support you from the very beginning.
Planning ahead makes a difference. Preconception counseling gives you the tools, insight, and confidence to approach pregnancy with a strong foundation for mental health.
Compassionate care for those supporting the journey into parenthood.
At Dahlia Center, we recognize that mental health challenges during the perinatal period don't only affect birthing parents. Fathers and partners also experience significant emotional changes, identity shifts, stress, and vulnerability during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting.
​
Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, supporting a partner with their own mental health journey, or struggling with depression, anxiety, or burnout yourself, we’re here to support you too.
How We Help Fathers and Partners:
-
Anxiety and depression during pregnancy or postpartum
-
Emotional overwhelm, irritability, or shutdown
-
Feeling disconnected from your partner or baby
-
Stress related to parenting roles, finances, or identity shifts
-
Processing birth trauma or difficult reproductive experiences
-
Supporting a partner through mental health, miscarriage, or fertility struggles
-
Navigating trauma histories or attachment challenges in parenting
-
Relationship strain or communication difficulties during this transition
What Care Looks Like:
We offer affirming, nonjudgmental psychiatric support to fathers and partners of all genders who are navigating the emotional challenges of this season of life. Whether you’re seeking short-term support or ongoing care, our providers will meet you where you are with empathy and flexibility.
Your care may include:
-
Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
-
Medication management (if desired)
-
Psychoeducation and support for the transition to parenthood
-
Stress and nervous system regulation strategies
-
Relationship-focused care and coordination with your partner’s provider
-
Referrals for wellness coaching or therapy when appropriate
Inclusive, Whole-Family Support:
We serve fathers, non-birthing mothers, nonbinary parents, queer partners, co-parents, and caregivers. You don’t have to be the one giving birth to be impacted by the emotional intensity of this time—or to deserve care.
Our team understands the nuanced roles partners play, and we work to create a safe, welcoming space for all identities and family structures.
Your mental health matters too.
You deserve support, not just pressure to hold it all together. Whether you’re navigating stress, identity shifts, or just need space to process the changes around you, we’re here to help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported.
At Dahlia Center, our Reproductive Psychiatry services support women and gender-diverse adults experiencing emotional distress and psychiatric symptoms tied to the reproductive life cycle. We provide care that recognizes the powerful influence of hormones on mental health—and the emotional weight that often accompanies fertility challenges, menstrual mood changes, reproductive loss, and identity shifts.
These concerns are frequently overlooked or minimized in traditional psychiatric settings. Our team offers affirming, inclusive, and evidence-based support with both clinical expertise and compassion.
We provide psychiatric care for:
-
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and severe PMS
-
Mood and anxiety symptoms related to hormonal contraception
-
Emotional distress during fertility treatment or IVF
-
Grief and adjustment following miscarriage or abortion
-
Infertility-related depression or anxiety
-
Cycle-related emotional shifts or dysregulation
-
Early perimenopausal mood changes (distinct from hormonal care track)
-
Reproductive trauma, shame, or unresolved emotional pain
Our approach is rooted in shared decision-making, ensuring your care plan reflects your goals, preferences, and comfort level with different treatment options. While we offer medication management when appropriate, we also understand that many clients are seeking support that goes beyond prescriptions alone.
Our care may include:
-
Thoughtful medication recommendations tailored to hormonal patterns
-
Psychoeducation on the connection between reproductive health and emotional symptoms
-
Nutritional, lifestyle, and mind-body strategies to support mood stability
-
Coordination with fertility clinics, OB/GYNs, doulas, and therapists
-
Referrals for wellness coordinators, nutritional counseling, or trauma-informed care as needed
We believe mental health care should reflect the whole person—not just the symptoms. Whether you're exploring psychiatric treatment for the first time, hoping to avoid medication, or looking for a provider who understands the complexity of reproductive mental health, we're here to support you with care that is integrative, responsive, and deeply human.
Whole-person mental health care that supports your mind, body, and lifestyle.
At Dahlia Center, we believe mental health care should go beyond medication for symptom management. Our Holistic Psychiatry & Wellness services are designed for women and gender-diverse adults who want a more integrative approach to emotional well-being—one that considers the full picture: hormones, nutrition, sleep, stress, relationships, and lived experience.
​
We offer an evidence-informed, compassionate model of care that blends psychiatric expertise with non-medication treatment strategies. Our team works together to help you feel better—mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Whether you’re looking to explore options outside of traditional medication, complement your current treatment, or work on the root causes of chronic mental health symptoms, our team is here to support you with care that is personalized, inclusive, and empowering.
A Collaborative Approach to Mental Wellness
At the heart of our holistic care model is a team approach. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
​
-
Our psychiatric providers work with you to assess your symptoms, explore both medication and non-medication options, and create a plan that honors your values and preferences.
-
Our hormonal care providers specialize in the intersection of hormone health and mental health. They evaluate and treat conditions like PMDD, perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction, and other hormone-related imbalances that may be affecting your mood, focus, or energy.
-
Our Registered Dietitian provides nutrition-focused mental health support—addressing blood sugar regulation, micronutrient imbalances, and the emotional relationship with food using a non-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach.
-
Our Wellness Coordinators are here to help you implement changes in real life—whether that’s creating sustainable routines, navigating overwhelm, managing ADHD-friendly strategies, or working on nervous system regulation.

Compassionate, goal-oriented therapy integrated into psychiatric care.
At Dahlia Center, we offer supportive therapy as part of our holistic approach to psychiatric treatment. These sessions are designed to help you explore emotional patterns, build insight, and develop tools to manage stress, overwhelm, or life transitions—all within the context of your broader mental health care plan.
Supportive therapy at Dahlia Center is not standalone talk therapy—it is integrated into our medication management and psychiatric appointments to ensure you feel emotionally supported while addressing your symptoms.
What Supportive Therapy Can Help With:
-
Processing life stressors or transitions
-
Identifying emotional triggers and patterns
-
Learning coping skills and emotional regulation tools
-
Navigating relationships, parenting, or role shifts
-
Reducing shame and self-blame
-
Exploring how hormonal and physical health impact mood and behavior
-
Increasing self-awareness, confidence, and resilience
What It’s Not:
We do not offer weekly or long-term psychotherapy. If you are looking for ongoing, stand-alone talk therapy, we are happy to refer you to trusted therapists in your area or within your insurance network. We believe that therapy is a valuable part of mental health care, and we’re committed to helping you build a support team that fits your needs.
Integrated, Person-Centered Care:
Supportive therapy at Dahlia Center is provided by psychiatric providers during your visits. These conversations are often short but meaningful—helping you feel heard, grounded, and emotionally supported while we adjust medications, evaluate symptoms, and refine your care plan.
Our approach is trauma-informed, inclusive, and collaborative, with an emphasis on shared decision-making and care that adapts as your life evolves.
​
If you’re looking for medication management with supportive therapy woven in, we’re here to walk that path with you. And, if you need deeper therapy support, we’ll help you find the right match.
Proactive mental health support for a smoother transition into parenthood.
At Dahlia Center, we believe that preparing emotionally for birth and the postpartum period is just as important as preparing physically. Our Birth & Postpartum Planning services are designed to support women and gender-diverse individuals, along with their partners, in creating a personalized plan for mental health and emotional well-being before the baby arrives.
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, every journey is different. Planning ahead helps reduce anxiety, prevent crisis, and build a strong foundation for support and connection.
Why Mental Health Planning Matters:
-
Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, identity shifts, and trauma history can all affect mental health postpartum.
-
Many people struggle silently—especially after a difficult birth or previous postpartum experience.
-
Proactive planning helps you recognize early warning signs, establish support systems, and reduce emotional overwhelm.
What We Cover in a Birth & Postpartum Planning Session:
-
Emotional preparation for birth and recovery
-
Identifying individual mental health risk factors (including prior mood, anxiety, or trauma history)
-
Creating a postpartum support plan (including partner roles, visitors, feeding expectations, etc.)
-
Planning for sleep, nourishment, and boundaries in early parenting
-
Medication planning (for those starting, continuing, or adjusting psychiatric medications)
-
Guidance for partners and family members on how to recognize signs of distress
-
When and how to reach out for help
-
Setting up coordinated care with doulas, OBs, midwives, or therapists
Who It's For:
-
Individuals with a personal or family history of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or PMDD
-
Anyone planning to conceive, currently pregnant, or preparing for postpartum after loss or trauma
-
Birthing parents and partners who want to feel more emotionally equipped and aligned going into this transition
-
Patients already receiving psychiatric care who want a tailored postpartum risk-reduction plan
Collaborative, Inclusive, and Trauma-Informed:
​
Our psychiatric providers work closely with hormonal care providers, wellness coordinators, therapists, and doulas or OB teams to help you feel safe and supported during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We tailor your plan to your unique needs, identity, history, and goals—no templates, no judgment, just thoughtful support.
​
You deserve to feel prepared, supported, and emotionally held—before the baby even arrives. Let’s create a postpartum plan that centers your mental health, strengthens your support system, and helps you move into this next chapter with confidence and care.
Supporting mental health by treating the body, brain, and daily rhythms.
At Dahlia Center, we believe that mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it’s shaped by sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, hormones, and the way we live day to day. Our focus on Lifestyle Medicine is designed for women and gender-diverse adults who want support that looks at the full picture and empowers them to make meaningful, sustainable changes to support emotional well-being.
Lifestyle interventions are not a substitute for therapy or medication—but they are powerful tools that can improve mood, reduce anxiety, enhance energy, and support nervous system regulation.
What Lifestyle Medicine Can Help With:
-
Low energy, fatigue, and burnout
-
Anxiety and chronic stress
-
Depression and mood instability
-
ADHD and executive function challenges
-
PMDD, perimenopause, and hormone-related mood issues
-
Insomnia and disrupted sleep-wake cycles

Postpartum depletion or recovery support
-
Emotional eating or blood sugar swings
What We Address
Our care focuses on six key pillars of lifestyle medicine as they relate to mental health:

Sleep and circadian rhythm regulation

Movement and body-based support
-
Stress reduction and nervous system regulation
-
Substance use and moderation when needed
-
Connection, identity, and emotional self-care
A Team-Based, Real-Life Approach:
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all plan or unrealistic checklist. Instead, you’ll work with our collaborative team to make small, manageable changes that reflect your goals and values.
-
Our Wellness Coordinators provide hands-on, practical support to help you implement changes—like building new routines, adjusting sleep habits, or navigating ADHD-friendly strategies.
-
Our Registered Dietitian supports mental health through nutrition, using a non-diet, HAES-informed approach that emphasizes balance, nourishment, and emotional connection to food.
-
Our psychiatric and hormonal care providers integrate lifestyle strategies into your broader treatment plan and collaborate across disciplines for whole-person care.
You don’t have to do this alone—and you don’t need to change everything overnight.
We meet you where you are. Lifestyle medicine at Dahlia Center is flexible, affirming, and grounded in your real life—not perfectionism. We’re here to help you feel more connected to your body, your needs, and your long-term well-being.
Mental health support that addresses the impact of hormones on mood, energy, and emotional well-being.
At Dahlia Center, we understand that hormonal shifts can deeply affect mental health—and they’re often overlooked in traditional psychiatric or medical settings. Our Hormonal Care services are designed for women and gender-diverse adults experiencing psychiatric symptoms related to the menstrual cycle, thyroid function, perimenopause, or other hormonal imbalances.
​
Whether you're struggling with PMDD, mood changes tied to ovulation, anxiety during perimenopause, or fatigue related to thyroid dysfunction, our providers are here to help you find clarity, balance, and support that feels aligned with your needs.

Collaborative, Whole-Person Support:
Hormonal care at Dahlia Center is never one-size-fits-all. Our providers collaborate with our psychiatric team, wellness coordinators, and registered dietitian to ensure your care reflects your full experience. We also coordinate with outside OB/GYNs, endocrinologists, or primary care providers as needed.
Whether you’re trying to get a clearer picture of your hormone patterns or need help managing the emotional impact of a diagnosis like PMDD or PCOS, we’re here to support you with compassionate, integrative, and evidence-informed care.
You deserve mental health care that takes your hormones seriously. We’ll help you connect the dots—and feel more like yourself again.
Support for women and gender-diverse adults with ADHD, autism, and sensory sensitivity.
At Dahlia Center, we provide psychiatric care that is neurodivergence-affirming, inclusive, and designed with real life in mind. We specialize in supporting women and gender-diverse adults who identify as neurodivergent—whether you’ve had a formal diagnosis or are just beginning to explore that possibility.
Our team understands that neurodivergent individuals are often misdiagnosed, dismissed, or treated through a lens of pathology. We take a different approach—offering mental health care that honors your experience, works with your brain (not against it), and supports your autonomy and self-trust.
Who We Support:
-
Women and AFAB adults with ADHD
-
Late-diagnosed or self-identified autistic individuals
-
People navigating sensory processing sensitivity or sensory overwhelm
-
Neurodivergent individuals also managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or PMDD
-
Clients seeking support with masking, burnout, and identity exploration
-
Individuals with executive function challenges, overstimulation, or chronic overwhelm
Common Concerns We Help With:
​
-
Emotional dysregulation or rejection sensitivity
-
Chronic anxiety, panic, or difficulty self-soothing
-
Social exhaustion or masking fatigue
-
Trouble with motivation, task initiation, or time blindness
-
Difficulty navigating hormonal shifts (e.g., PMDD or perimenopause with ADHD/autism)
-
Burnout from life, work, parenting, or performance expectations
-
Navigating mental health in systems not built for neurodivergent needs
Our Approach:
Our care is built on the belief that you are not broken—and you don’t need to be fixed. We offer:
-
Neurodivergent-informed psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
-
ADHD medication support (stimulant and non-stimulant options)
-
Non-medication options for emotional regulation and sensory support
-
Shared decision-making every step of the way
-
Collaboration with our Wellness Coordinators for executive function strategies and routine-building
-
Support from our dietitian for ADHD-friendly nutrition and blood sugar regulation
-
Optional collaboration with hormonal care providers for clients impacted by cycle-related symptoms
We understand that mental health care often needs to look different for neurodivergent people—more flexible, more validating, and more attuned to sensory and cognitive needs. Whether you want help managing symptoms or just want a provider who “gets it,” we’re here.
We don’t treat you like a checklist. We treat you like a person. At Dahlia Center, we’re building a new standard of mental health care—one that supports neurodivergent people with respect, creativity, and compassion.
Integrative psychiatric support for individuals living with complex chronic conditions.
At Dahlia Center, we recognize that chronic illness, autoimmune disease, and dysautonomia don’t just affect the body—they also have a profound impact on mental health. Many individuals are told their symptoms are “all in their head,” or are left managing emotional distress on top of a complex medical journey. We offer psychiatric care that validates your experience, sees the full picture, and works with your physiology—not against it.
Our providers are experienced in supporting women and gender-diverse adults living with chronic, misunderstood, and often overlapping conditions—including autoimmune disease, POTS, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and hormone-sensitive mental health concerns.
We commonly support clients with:
-
Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or panic alongside autoimmune symptoms
-
Fatigue, brain fog, and cognitive slowing in POTS or Hashimoto’s
-
Mood instability tied to inflammation, pain, or flares
-
Trauma and medical gaslighting
-
Grief and identity changes related to chronic illness
-
Hormonal fluctuations impacting autoimmunity and mood
-
Stress-related symptom worsening or nervous system dysregulation
-
ADHD-like symptoms in the context of dysautonomia or autoimmune disease
Our Integrative Approach May Include:
-
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management adapted for sensitive systems
-
Collaborative treatment plans with awareness of autonomic instability and medication tolerability
-
Hormonal evaluation and support for perimenopause, PMDD, thyroid, or cortisol dysregulation
-
Anti-inflammatory strategies and mind-body tools for nervous system support
-
Supplement and nutrition guidance in collaboration with our Registered Dietitian
-
Coaching support from our Wellness Coordinators to address fatigue, pacing, and emotional regulation
-
Coordination with specialists (rheumatology, cardiology, integrative medicine, etc.) for cohesive care
We’re careful with how we prescribe and approach medications—considering mast cell sensitivity, orthostatic intolerance, or inflammatory triggers that may worsen symptoms in standard psychiatric protocols.
Whole-Person Care for Complex Conditions
You deserve care that understands how intertwined your mental health and physical health truly are. We take a whole-person, team-based approach that affirms your experience and adapts to your needs.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, exploring a possible condition, or have been living with symptoms for years, we’re here to listen—and to help.
Mental health care should support your body—not ignore it.
Practical, personalized support to help you implement real change.
At Dahlia Center, we know that improving mental health often takes more than medication or insight—it takes support for everyday follow-through. Our Wellness Coordinators are here to help you turn your care plan into meaningful, sustainable action.
Whether you’re navigating ADHD, burnout, hormonal mood swings, chronic stress, or just trying to create routines that work for your life, our wellness team provides hands-on, compassionate support that bridges the gap between knowing and doing.
What They Help With:
-
Routine building and time management
-
Executive function support for ADHD
-
Nervous system regulation and stress reduction
-
Sleep hygiene and energy rhythm optimization
-
Gentle movement, breathwork, or grounding practices
-
Creating sustainable goals that reflect your values

-
Managing transitions (postpartum, return to work, perimenopause, etc.)
Who It’s For:
Wellness Coordination is available to all Dahlia Center patients, regardless of which track (Psychiatry or Hormonal Health) you're in. It’s especially helpful for those who:
-
Feel overwhelmed by the “how” of self-care
-
Struggle with follow-through, planning, or pacing
-
Want accountability without pressure
-
Need tools that support both brain and body
-
Are working with ADHD, chronic illness, trauma, or life overload
What It’s Not:
Our Wellness Coordinators are not therapists or licensed coaches. They don’t provide psychotherapy, trauma processing, or clinical diagnoses. Instead, they work alongside your providers to offer actionable, non-clinical support that helps you apply the tools and goals from your treatment plan in everyday life.
Collaborative, Whole-Person Support:
Wellness Coordinators are an integrated part of your care team. They collaborate with your psychiatric or hormonal care provider, and may also coordinate with our Registered Dietitian to support nutrition-related goals, energy regulation, or mood-related eating patterns.
You don’t need to figure it all out alone—we’re here to help you build rhythms that actually support your mental health.
Small steps. Realistic changes. Personalized support. Let our wellness team help you turn your care plan into a life that feels more balanced, supported, and sustainable.
Food, mood, and hormone health—without the diet culture.
At Dahlia Center, we know that mental health and nutrition are deeply connected. Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) offers compassionate, evidence-based nutrition support for women and gender-diverse adults navigating emotional, hormonal, and psychiatric concerns.
We take a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach rooted in Health at Every Size (HAES) and mental health–aligned care. Whether you’re struggling with mood swings, low energy, emotional eating, or food-related anxiety, we’re here to help you feel more nourished—physically and emotionally.
What We Support:
-
Nutrition for anxiety, depression, and burnout
-
PMDD, perimenopause, and hormone-related mood symptoms
-
PCOS and insulin resistance

Nutrition support for ADHD and executive functioning

Digestive issues tied to mood, stress, or nervous system dysregulation
-
Recovery from restriction, binge cycles, or diet trauma
-
Support for postpartum depletion and fatigue
-
Supplement guidance as part of psychiatric or hormonal care plans
What to Expect:
Our dietitian focuses on what supports you, not what restricts you. Together, you'll explore:
-
How food and nutrients impact mental health, hormones, and energy
-
Gentle strategies for building balanced meals without rigidity
-
Nervous system–friendly eating practices
-
Practical routines for meals and snacks—even with low bandwidth or ADHD
-
Supplement recommendations that support mood, focus, and hormone health
-
A safe space to unlearn shame and reconnect with your body’s cues
Collaborative, Whole-Person Care
Our dietitian works closely with your psychiatric and hormonal health providers, as well as our Wellness Coordinators, to ensure your care is aligned and supported on every level. You don’t need to navigate food, energy, and mood alone—your nutrition plan is integrated into your mental health journey.
This is not about weight loss, calorie tracking, or food rules. It’s about nourishment, support, and building a relationship with food that feels empowering—not overwhelming.
What you eat shouldn’t be a source of shame—it should be a source of strength.
Let’s work together to support your mental health from the inside out.
