About the practice
Dr. Banks is a board-certified psychiatrist who treats hormone-related mood and sleep problems alongside her regular psychiatry work. Many of her patients are midlife women who come in for something like ADHD or insomnia, and she looks at what hormones may be adding to it. She orders labs when they are indicated and in many cases prescribes estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. She also uses non-drug approaches such as supplements and lifestyle changes, and offers ketamine for some mental health care. Visits run longer than the usual 15 minutes, she keeps her panel small so appointments are not months away, and a new patient evaluation is spread over two to three sessions. Care is in person in Oakland or by video for patients anywhere in California.
