women’s mental health in Orange County

Welcome to OC Women’s Mental Health, located in beautiful Newport Beach, California. I started this practice in 2013 with the goal of providing personalized and compassionate mental health treatment. After years of working in academic settings, I wanted to offer excellent, evidence-based treatment without bureaucracy. I see a wide range of clients, but I specialize in the treatment of women, with a particular focus on pregnancy and postpartum.

Seeing a psychiatrist should never be scary or intimidating. I want you to feel heard and cared for; your story matters. Whatever your concern, I promise to listen. I believe that healing occurs when people are empowered to make their own choices. I look forward to meeting you.

About Dr. Rasminsky

I am a board-certified psychiatrist, in practice for more than fifteen years. My specialty is in women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry, but I enjoy working with clients at all life stages and with many different issues. I moved to Orange County from Chicago in 2012 and opened my private practice in 2013.

I am an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at UC Irvine and UCLA, a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and a 2017 and 2018 Orange County Physician of Excellence. Since 2016, I have been an attending psychiatrist in the Women’s Life Center at UCLA, where I supervise and teach residents about reproductive psychiatry. I have written both popular and scientific articles and book chapters about mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, and provide consultation regarding medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

I began my career as a psychiatrist in college mental health, and continue to enjoy working with young adults.
