Ms. Susan Dowd Stone

“As women move through unique life cycles, biological and social stressors can overwhelm leading to depression, anxiety or behavioral and perceptive changes. We feel "stuck" and may unintentionally react in self-destructive ways leading to increasing despair, hopelessness and alienating loneliness. Hormonal shifts from pregnancy through menopause - in combination with other stressors - can bring vulnerability to mood disorders which have a negative impact on our lives. Loss - of health, independence or loved ones - can drown us in a sea of grief that separates us from all we used to love and be. Do not suffer alone.

I have helped countless women recover from such challenges and return to fulfillment and health. Using the most effective treatments available for these disorders, our collaboration will empower you with choices to help recreate the life you want. From adolescence through the senior years, my practice focuses on issues unique to women.

Specialties include perinatal depression, menopause,fetal/infant death, trauma, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, chronic illness and grief related to loss, including companion animals. I am a nationally known clinician,author,educator, presenter and leader in women's reproductive mental health.
