Care that fits your stage of life
Women's mental health can change across different stages of life. Hormonal shifts, reproductive transitions, relationships, work, caregiving, sleep, physical health, and other factors can all affect how you feel.
Navia Psychiatry provides personalized virtual psychiatric care for women throughout Washington State. Care is provided directly by Dr. Shirin Vartak, DO, a psychiatrist board-certified in Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
You won't be passed between rotating clinicians. Dr. Vartak sees every Navia patient herself, with longer visits designed to understand not only your symptoms, but the larger picture around them.
What we help with
Women come to Navia for concerns including:
- Depression and persistent low mood
- Anxiety, excessive worry, and panic
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and significant premenstrual mood symptoms
- Mood and anxiety symptoms during pregnancy, postpartum, or while planning a pregnancy
- Mood, sleep, and concentration changes during perimenopause and menopause
- Adult ADHD evaluation and treatment
- Irritability and emotional reactivity
- Sleep concerns affecting mental health
- Psychiatric medication review
- Second opinions when a diagnosis or treatment plan does not feel quite right
If pregnancy or postpartum is the main reason you're seeking care, learn more about our perinatal and postpartum psychiatry services.
If your symptoms have changed during midlife, learn more about our perimenopause and menopause psychiatry services.
Psychiatry that considers the whole picture
Psychiatric care can be most useful when there is enough time to understand how symptoms, medical history, medications, hormones, sleep, stress, and life stage fit together.
At Navia, treatment begins with a careful evaluation. Dr. Vartak works with you to understand what has changed, what you have already tried, what matters most to you, and how you feel about different treatment options.
Your plan may include medication, psychotherapy recommendations, sleep or lifestyle strategies, coordination with another physician, or a combination of approaches.
Medication is never the automatic answer. When medication is appropriate, the goal is to make a thoughtful decision together after discussing potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and your preferences.
Women's psychiatric care across Washington
Navia Psychiatry provides secure virtual appointments to patients located throughout Washington State, including Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Olympia, Spokane, Vancouver, and surrounding communities.
Because telehealth care occurs where the patient is physically located, you must be in Washington at the time of your appointment.
With your permission, Dr. Vartak can also collaborate with your therapist, primary care physician, OB-GYN, or other members of your healthcare team.
How care works
- 01
Start with a free fit consultation
Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation to learn more about Navia and determine whether the practice may be a good fit for what you're looking for. This is a brief conversation about fit, not a clinical evaluation or treatment.
- 02
Meet with Dr. Vartak
Your initial evaluation includes time to discuss your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, previous treatments, life circumstances, and goals. Reproductive or hormonal concerns may be best served by the extended evaluation, and Dr. Vartak can advise during your fit consultation.
- 03
Leave with a clear plan
Dr. Vartak will discuss her assessment and recommendations with you. Depending on your needs, this may include medication, psychotherapy, coordination with another physician, or suggested medical evaluation or laboratory testing to discuss with your other healthcare providers.
- 04
Continue care when needed
Follow-up visits are scheduled based on your symptoms, treatment plan, and progress.
Frequently asked questions
Do you take insurance?
Navia Psychiatry is a private-pay practice. We provide a superbill after each visit that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your individual insurance plan and is not guaranteed.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can contact Navia directly without a referral from another physician.
Will I be prescribed medication?
Not necessarily. Treatment recommendations depend on your symptoms, history, diagnosis, preferences, previous treatments, and individual circumstances. Some patients benefit from medication. Others may benefit from psychotherapy, changes to an existing treatment plan, additional medical evaluation, or a combination of approaches.
Can you work with my therapist or OB-GYN?
Yes. With your permission, Dr. Vartak can coordinate with your therapist, OB-GYN, primary care physician, or other clinicians involved in your care.
Do you see patients outside Washington?
Navia currently provides ongoing psychiatric treatment to patients while they are located in Washington State.
