What is Transitional Psychiatric Care? Transitional psychiatric care focuses on offering targeted, high-yield treatment over a set period of time. At FemPsych, this means working together for up to 18 months to manage symptoms, create a clear care plan, and ensure a smooth transition of care post treatment. This model is ideal for individuals who need support through a specific life transition, medication adjustments (including simplification or discontinuation), or symptom stabilization without the expectation of indefinite care. It allows for focused, meaningful treatment while prioritizing continuity beyond the scope of short-term psychiatry. How Does It Work?
Initial Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation to understand your mental health needs, treatment history, and goals for care.
Monthly Appointments: Consistent care with monthly visits, with the option to space appointments up to two months apart in special circumstances.
Collaborative Planning: Throughout your time at FemPsych, we’ll build a transition plan together, ensuring you have the resources and referrals needed for continued mental wellness.
Who Can Benefit from Transitional Care? This approach is especially suited for those experiencing:
Life transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum, or perimenopause
Mild to moderate anxiety, depression, or mood disorders
Medication management needs (adjustment, simplification, and discontinuation)
Situational episodes requiring psychiatric support for a defined period
