About Sunstone Psychiatry for Women

Meaningful psychiatric care begins by listening beyond symptoms — to the story, context, and lived experience that shape an individual’s life.

For Women, By Women

Every woman carries a story. Behind Sunstone are women dedicated to helping patients navigate theirs. At Sunstone Psychiatry for Women, we provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care that honors each woman’s lived experience.

We created Sunstone Psychiatry for Women to offer specialized care that recognizes the unique ways hormonal health, reproductive experiences, life transitions, and mental well-being intersect throughout a woman’s life.

Why We Founded Sunstone

Sunstone was founded on the desire to offer care that feels both personal and purposeful.

After years of working together at Main Line Health’s Women’s Emotional Wellness Center in Pennsylvania, Jessica Benson, MD, and Morgan Lewis, DO, developed a shared passion for helping women navigate complex emotional, hormonal, and life transitions.

When the clinic unexpectedly closed, they chose not to part ways professionally. Instead, they built a new practice rooted in continuity of care, shared values, and a deep belief in the importance of women-centered mental health services.

Dr. Benson and Dr. Lewis envisioned a virtual practice where women could receive expert psychiatric treatment while still experiencing the connection, collaboration, and individualized care they value in clinical work.

Today, Sunstone reflects that exact vision — a virtual practice where women throughout Pennsylvania can access psychiatric support tailored to life stages such as young adulthood, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and beyond.

“Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care that honors the whole woman — mind, body, and life experience. We are committed to creating a safe, thoughtful, and collaborative space where women feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive through every stage of life.”

Anxiety, depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), relationship challenges, career pressures, perfectionism, body image concerns, hormonal fluctuations, and identity development.

Fertility & Family Planning

Emotional support through fertility journeys, family planning decisions, hormonal changes, reproductive health considerations, uncertainty, grief, and life adjustments.

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Peripartum and postpartum mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood changes, sleep challenges, emotional adjustments, and identity shifts.

Parenthood

Parenting stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, and the balance of personal and family responsibilities while raising a family.

Perimenopause

Hormonal changes, anxiety, depression, mood fluctuations, insomnia, irritability, and the emotional transitions of this stage.

Aging & Life Transitions

Life adjustments, grief and loss, changing family dynamics, retirement, identity shifts, long-term mental wellness, and emotional well-being through later stages of life.

Our support is designed to move with you — not around fixed moments in time. We provide continuity, understanding, and care through every chapter of a woman’s life.

Meet the Team

Morgan Lewis, DO

Dr. Morgan Lewis began her career in emergency psychiatry, spending three years on the faculty of Temple University Hospital’s Crisis Response Center, where she taught residents and medical students how to hold space for people in their most unsettled moments.

She grew up in Bryn Mawr, PA, studied biology at Lehigh University, and earned her medical degree at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where her training strengthened her conviction: you can’t care for a mind apart from the body it lives in.

She completed her psychiatry residency at Temple and stayed on as faculty, where she received the Marie J. Mignogna, MD Faculty Award for excellence in teaching. She later spent four years at Main Line Health’s Women’s Emotional Wellness Center, where her passion for women’s health shaped the direction of her career. Board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, she brings more than a decade of clinical experience.

She finds balance through painting, gardening, and cooking; grounding herself in daily movement, fresh air, and whole foods. She and her husband were anatomy lab partners in medical school, today, they share a young son, a lively home full of pets, and evenings built around a family-made dinner and a good documentary.

Jessica Benson, MD

Dr. Jessica Benson brings both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to her practice of psychiatry. Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, she studied psychology at Washington University in St. Louis before earning her medical degree at Drexel University College of Medicine. She then completed her psychiatry residency at Temple University Hospital, where she  pursued additional training in psychodynamic psychotherapy—gaining a deeper appreciation for the nuanced interplay between one’s past and present emotional life.

Following residency, Dr. Benson joined Main Line Health’s Women’s Emotional Wellness Center, where her interest in reproductive psychiatry grew into a defining focus of her career. Board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, she brings together evidence-based psychiatric care with a thoughtful, nurturing approach that considers the psychological, relational, and lifestyle factors influencing each patient’s mental health.

To recharge, Dr. Benson leans into her love of animals and nature, often found walking along the Schuylkill River or cuddling her ten-pound miniature dachshund, Daisy. She also enjoys bird watching, jigsaw puzzles, reading a good mystery novel, and exploring the country’s national parks.
