About Estela Psychiatry
A psychiatry practice built around reproductive and women's mental health across the lifespan, from puberty through menopause, alongside general adult psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and trauma. Care is given in person in Austin or by video in Texas and California, on an insurance-based model with a small team of a psychiatrist, a physician assistant and two psychiatric nurse practitioners. Menopause work is framed psychiatrically. She judges where a patient is in her hormonal transition and weighing menopausal hormone therapy, antidepressants or both, with nutrition, supplement and sleep guidance alongside. The founder holds a perinatal mental health certification and further training in perimenopausal mental health.
