Perinatal and Menopause Psychiatric Consultation Clinic (PMCC)

Make Appointments & Get Care

Overview

The University of Rochester Medicine's Perinatal and Menopause Psychiatric Consultation Clinic (PMCC) provides mental health consultation to people with mood or anxiety disorders who:

  • are pregnant
  • are planning a pregnancy
  • have questions about the use of psychiatric medications during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding/lactating
  • are experiencing symptoms related to premenstrual dysphoric disorder or the menopausal transition

We also serve those who have recently given birth and are experiencing or are at high risk for post-partum mood or anxiety disorder. We can help with medication and, if needed, we will refer patients to a therapist or psychiatrist.

Our Approach

During your initial consultation:

  • A member of our perinatal and menopause consultation team will spend about 45 minutes with you to go over your medical history.
  • You may receive an additional 45-minute consultation with the medical director of the Perinatal and Menopause Consultation Clinic.
  • Recommendations for treatment will be made to your referring provider or to a mental health provider if ongoing treatment is needed.

What Sets Us Apart?

We recognize the unique needs of people who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding/lactating, experiencing premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and going through perimenopause, or menopause.

Our Perinatal Consultation and Menopause Psychiatric Clinic clinicians have extensive experience across the lifespan. And because we're part of an integrated academic health system, our care is informed by the latest research into better treatment and approaches.
