The Approach

Care that sees the whole person.

Dr. Watts offers thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care across the lifespan, with formal subspecialty training in reproductive psychiatry and women's mental health. She works from a holistic view, where the physical, mental, and social are inseparable.

Reproductive psychiatry is, at heart, systems work — caring for a person within the intricate web of body, relationship, and family, much as a family-systems clinician does. Dr. Watts brings the same lens to organizations, meeting founders and teams as living systems of their own.

Three Ways to Work Together

Find your door.

Dr. Watts keeps one private clinical practice — individual medical care — alongside two further ways to work: with organizations, and through retreats and gatherings. Some engagements sit within the medical practice; others, like advisory work and retreats, sit outside it.
