Women’s Behavioral Health
Support Through Every Stage of Life
Hormonal changes can impact how you feel, think, and cope, from your first period to pregnancy, menopause, and everything in between. At Kalamazoo TMS & Behavioral Health, we provide compassionate, expert care for the emotional and mental health challenges that often accompany these transitions. You’re not overreacting, you’re not alone and you’re not stuck.
Your Mental Health Deserves Care That Understands Your Biology, Your Experiences & Your Voice.
Hormonal changes can affect your physical health. They can also shift how you feel, think, and cope with everyday life.
At Kalamazoo TMS & Behavioral Health, we provide specialized psychiatric care for women, designed to support mental health through each phase of life.
From premenstrual mood changes and perinatal or postpartum depression to perimenopause and menopause-related emotional shifts, our approach combines clinical expertise with compassion. We treat more than just symptoms.
Whether you’re overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally disconnected, or simply not feeling like yourself, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Our team helps you reclaim stability, clarity, and confidence on your terms.

Reclaim Your Balance
Whether you’re overwhelmed by emotional swings or just not feeling like yourself anymore, this isn’t something you have to push through alone.
Most psychiatrists treat everyone the same. We don’t. Women go through unique hormonal, emotional, and life-stage factors that affect mental health in real, physical ways. Our care is built around that. We don’t just look at your symptoms. We look at the full picture: your hormones, life stage, stress levels, and everything in between. It’s personalized, thoughtful, and actually designed for women.
Yes, absolutely. You don’t need a diagnosis to get support. If you’re constantly overwhelmed, on edge, low on energy, or just feel emotionally “off,” we’re here for that. A lot of women push through high-functioning anxiety, burnout, or hormonal mood swings thinking it’s normal. It’s common—but that doesn’t mean it’s okay. You deserve to feel like you again.
Yes—they absolutely can. Hormonal fluctuations during PMS, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause can dramatically impact mood, sleep, energy, and cognition. We see this all the time during PMS, postpartum, and menopause. Instead of ignoring hormones, we build them into your care plan. That might mean adjusting medication around your cycle or working with your OB-GYN to get everything aligned.
Unfortunately, many women have been told their symptoms are “just stress” or “just hormones” and brushed aside. We take a different approach. Dr. Ruqiya Shama Tareen is a double Board-Certified psychiatrist with deep experience in women’s behavioral health. She listens. She looks at the full picture: your symptoms, cycle, life stage, trauma history, lifestyle, and goals. This isn’t checkbox psychiatry. It’s care that’s built around who you are and how you live.
Yes. We offer specialized support across every phase of womanhood:
- Reproductive mental health (PMDD, infertility, perinatal and postpartum mood disorders)
- Parenting burnout and emotional overload
- Perimenopause and menopause-related depression or anxiety
- Trauma, life transitions, and caregiver fatigue
No matter where you are in your journey, we’re here to help you feel whole, resilient, and emotionally steady again.
