OUR PURPOSE
At Moving In New Directions Psychiatric NP, PLLC, our purpose is simple and deeply rooted in compassion:to normalize conversations about mental health, honor the connection between hormones and the brain, and provide affirming, accessible psychiatric care that supports the whole person — mind, body, culture, and lived experience.
We believe mental health care should feel safe, respectful, and empowering.
We believe representation matters.
We believe healing begins when people feel seen — fully.
And we are committed to supporting individuals and families in rewriting cultural, generational, and systemic narratives surrounding mental health — especially in communities where silence and stigma have existed for far too long.

We specialize in Reproductive Mental Health, including:
✔ PMS & PMDD
✔ Perinatal and Postpartum Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)
✔ Perimenopause & Menopause-related mood changes

Our Why
We created this practice because too many people have been taught to suffer quietly.
Too many women have been told their symptoms are “just hormones.”
Too many families have internalized fear and stigma.
Too many patients have felt unheard in health care spaces.
We exist to change that.
