TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
A practice built on deep understanding
Heading 1
Dr. Reid's approach integrates evidence-based therapy protocols with thoughtful medication management, informed by the Guilt Equation framework, helping individuals develop lasting insight and authentic self-trust.
Time Limited &
Protocol-Driven
Treatment is focused and purposeful, not open-ended. Dr. Reid offers defined courses of evidence-based therapy — CBT for Insomnia and Interpersonal Therapy — with clear goals, timelines, and measurable outcomes from the start.
The Guilt Equation
Framework
Dr. Reid's original framework, the idea that much of women's distress stems from the gap between expectations of self and perceived reality, informs every aspect of treatment. Whether addressing insomnia or relational patterns, this lens illuminates what's really keeping you stuck.
Collaborative &
Coordinated
Dr. Reid works as part of your care team. Treatment includes medication optimization when needed, with a thoughtful transition back to your primary care provider or referring psychiatrist — complete with a detailed summary of your progress and recommendations.
PRACTICE MODEL
Focused treatment, lasting
results
The goal of treatment is not perfection. It's developing a deep, lasting trust in yourself.
-Dr. Jennifer Reid
A defined course of care, combining the rare advantage of a psychiatrist who provides both evidence-based psychotherapy and medication management in one relationship.

Comprehensive Evaluation*
A 90-minute initial assessment to understand your history, symptoms, strengths, and goals, including the Guilt Equation Inventory (GEI) to identify the patterns driving your distress.
