Who I Work With
Does any of this sound like you?
Most of the women I work with are accomplished, capable, and deeply tired.
They've been managing everything, and everyone, for a long time.
If you recognize yourself below, you're in the right place.
Guilt and Self-Criticism
Never feeling like you're getting it right
-
Guilt about wanting more when you feel like you already "have so much."
-
Difficulty prioritizing yourself without justifying it to everyone around you.
-
Always the one who holds everything together, and can't figure out how to stop and rest.
-
Fear that slowing down means everything falls apart.
Anxiety and Mood Changes
Something's off, even if you can't name it
-
Irritability, disrupted sleep, or emotional reactivity that feels out of character
-
Anxiety and worry that has worsened despite trying to do everything right
-
Persistent low mood you've been white-knuckling for years
-
Medication that has stopped working or never felt quite right.
Identity and Transitions
Who am I, beyond all of these roles?
-
Feeling like you've lost yourself inside the roles of mother, executive, caregiver, or partner
-
Career success that feels hollow or misaligned with who you're becoming
-
An inner restlessness you can't quite define, but you also can't ignore.
Insomnia
Wired but tired, struggling to rest
-
Feeling exhausted but then as soon as your head hits the pillow, your mind is racing
-
Self-criticism around your struggle to sleep well
-
Frustration after trying multiple medications and apps to help with sleep.
-
Noticing worsening sleep around perimenopause
Treatment Philosophy
A practice built on deep understanding
Dr. Reid's approach integrates evidence-based therapy protocols with thoughtful medication optimization, informed by the Guilt Equation framework, helping individuals develop lasting insight and authentic self-trust.
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.
The Guilt Equation Framework
Dr. Reid's original Guilt Free Framework informs the treatment.
Much of women's distress stems from the gap between expectations of self and their perceived reality. Whether addressing burnout, anxiety or challenging relational patterns, this lens illuminates what's really keeping you stuck.
Time Limited & Protocol-Driven
Treatment is focused and purposeful, not open-ended.
Dr. Reid offers defined courses of evidence-based therapy with clear goals, timelines, and measurable outcomes from the start. You will finish with a clear path to your desired future.
Practice Model
Focused treatment, lasting results
A defined course of care, combining the rare advantage of a psychiatrist who provides both evidence-based psychotherapy and medication management in one relationship.
1. Comprehensive Evaluation*
A defined course of care, combining the rare advantage of a psychiatrist who provides both evidence-based psychotherapy and medication management in one relationship.
2. Targeted Therapy Protocol
A 90-minute initial assessment to understand your history, symptoms, strengths, and goals, including the Guilt Equation Inventory (GEI), anxiety, mood and sleep assessments to identify the patterns driving your distress.
3. Medication Optimization
When appropriate, Dr. Reid reviews and adjusts medications alongside your therapy — whether that's adding or adjusting an antidepressant, or helping you taper off unnecessary medication. No separate prescriber needed.
4. Warm Handoff Back to Your Provider or Referral to Ongoing Care
Treatment concludes with a wrap-up session and a detailed summary letter to your PCP or referring provider covering what was done, medication changes, outcome data, and ongoing recommendations. You return to your team stronger.
Dr. Reid can also provide appropriate referrals for ongoing mental health treatment.
"The goal of treatment is not perfection. It's developing a deep, lasting trust in yourself."
-Dr. Jennifer Reid
