Integrative Psychiatry for Women
Hormone-informed mental health care for anxiety, mood shifts, and life-stage transitions.
Helping high-achieving women and mothers feel grounded, supported, and like themselves again through personalized medication management, integrative tools, and long-term, relationship-based care.
Welcome to my practice. I’m a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes you deserve more than a quick fix—you deserve thoughtful, personalized care that honors every chapter of your life.
I'm Brianna Dawson, PMHNP-BC
My path to psychiatry was shaped by my own experiences navigating mental health challenges, identity, and healing as a high-functioning woman in a world that often asks us to push through. I’ve worked in acute care, community mental health, and perinatal psychiatry—and throughout it all, I’ve seen how disconnected, rushed care leaves women feeling unseen. That’s why I created Behavioral Wellness for Women: a place where you can be supported, not scrutinized. I combine modern psychiatry with holistic strategies—medication, supplements, lifestyle tools, and compassionate partnership—to help you feel grounded, understood, and empowered in your care.
Hormone-Driven Mood Shifts (PMDD, Perimenopause & Cyclical Anxiety)
You may notice that certain weeks feel dramatically harder than others — disrupted sleep, low energy that doesn’t match how much you’re doing, brain fog or forgetfulness, and trouble focusing in ways that feel new or unsettling. Alongside that, your patience feels thinner, your anxiety louder, and your emotional reactions more intense than you expect. One part of the month you feel capable and steady; another, depleted, irritable, or unlike yourself — without a clear reason why.
I provide hormone-informed psychiatric care for PMDD, cycle-related mood symptoms, and perimenopausal transitions — helping stabilize mood, reduce reactivity, and restore emotional predictability across life stages.
Areas of Focus
Anxiety, Burnout & Overwhelm During Life Transitions
You're productive, capable, and outwardly holding it together but internally, your system is constantly braced. Your mind replays conversations, rest feels unproductive, and even "downtime" leaves you wired instead of restored. You're exhausted but slowing down feels unsafe.
I work with high-achieving women whose anxiety is driven by chronic pressure, perfectionism, and a nervous system stuck in overdrive using psychiatric care that quiets the mental noise, restores stress tolerance, and helps your body stand down again.
TTC, Fertility-Related Anxiety & Reproductive Uncertainty
Trying to conceive can turn your body into something you monitor instead of trust. Your thoughts revolve around timing, symptoms, and "what ifs". You may feel anxious one moment and numb the next, carrying hope, grief, and fear at the same time.
I support women navigating fertility challenges with integrative psychiatric care that address anxiety, emotional whiplash, and reproductive trauma, helping you feel steadier, clearer, and more at home in your body during an inherently uncertain season.
My
Postpartum Anxiety, Rage & Loss of Self
You may feel on edge all day, snap more easily than you recognize yourself, or lie awake replaying intrusive thoughts you don't want. You love your baby - and still feel irritable, disconnected, or alarmed by how intense everything feels.
I specialize in postpartum psychiatric care that treats anxiety, rage, intrusive thoughts, and identity disruption - with personalized medication management and nervous system support that helps you feel calmer, safer, and more like yourself again.
