Do you only treat perimenopause?
Nope.
I treat women. And that includes a lot more than hormones.
If you’ve found me through an insurance search and you’re wondering if I’m the right psychiatrist for you, this page is for you.
Let’s clear things up.
I Help Women Who Are:
Dreading their period every month due to mood swings, rage, or exhaustion (PMS, PMDD)
Diagnosed with PCOS and struggling with irritability, anxiety, or depression
Juggling school, careers, caregiving, and expectations, and running on fumes
Feeling “off” but can’t explain why: not sleeping well, snapping more, always anxious
Going through a major life transition: new city, new job, new identity
High-functioning but burned out, stuck, or overwhelmed
Even if you're 22.
Even if you’re not sure it’s “serious enough.”
Don't struggle alone. Let's get through this together.
What Treatment Looks Like
I'm not your “5-minute med check” kind of psychiatrist.
We’ll talk about what’s going on, body + brain + life, and build a plan that works for you.
Here’s what that might include:
💊 Targeted medications (only if we decide together that they make sense)
💬 Therapy-lite support: real conversation, real progress, no weekly couch sessions
🧭 Lifestyle nudges that don’t feel overwhelming (think: sleep, stress, routines)
🧠 Brain science + insight-building so you understand what’s happening and why
This is collaborative care. It’s built around you.
Why Work With Me?
I’m Dr. Jessica Beachkofsky (Dr. B), a board-certified psychiatrist with specialized training in Reproductive Psychiatry, seeing patients virtually in Florida, Texas, and Indiana.
I treat women’s mental health across the reproductive years: from PMS to perimenopause to please give me a break!
I take some Aetna insurance plans through Headway (with availability for new patients!) or can provide a superbill for out of network care.
You can check my calendar and request a free 15min consult call below or send a specific request through my contact page!
What Patients Say…
“She’s not the kind of psychiatrist who spends five minutes with you and sends you on your way with pills.”
“I got past the most difficult time of my life with the help and support of Dr. B.”
“She’s especially great for working moms, those with high-functioning anxiety, and managing life transitions.”
Is This a Good Fit?
We’re likely a great match if:
✅ You’re open to meds, even if you're unsure
✅ You want longer appointments that actually dig in
✅ You like understanding what’s happening in your brain
✅ You’re navigating stress, hormones, or big life changes
✅ You want help that’s practical, supportive, and efficient
This probably isn’t the right fit if:
❌ You’re unwilling to consider any medications
❌ You need controlled substances like Xanax, Ambien, or Adderall
❌ You’ve recently been hospitalized or have trouble staying safe **I strongly recommend in-person care if this is your current situation
