The Women’s Reproductive Mental Health Program at UC San Diego Health offers tailored, expert care for mental health conditions across the woman’s reproductive life span. We work closely with our colleagues in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Reproductive Medicine.

We have worked with patients who have had difficulty with conceiving and who are receiving different fertility treatments. We also help patients navigate the many aspects of family planning and family rearing and working with their partner(s) to grow a healthy family.
The LCSW position in the Women’s Reproductive Mental Health will provide various aspects of clinical therapeutic services including diagnostic evaluations, assessments, treatment planning, care coordination, case management, individual therapy and sometimes couple’s therapy.
