About Sunstone Psychiatry for Women

We believe effective psychiatric care begins with understanding the full context of your life, not just the symptoms that brought you here.

For Women, By Women

Behind every woman is a unique story, and behind Sunstone is a team of 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 provide specialized psychiatric care that recognizes the unique ways hormonal health, reproductive experiences, life transitions, and mental wellbeing intersect throughout a woman’s life.

Why We Founded Sunstone

Sunstone Psychiatry for Women was founded by Jessica Benson MD and Morgan Lewis DO after years of working together at a women’s emotional wellness clinic in Pennsylvania. During that time, they developed a shared passion for helping women navigate through 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.

Sunstone Psychiatry for Women was born from a desire to offer care that feels both personal and purposeful.

Dr. Benson and Dr. Lewis envisioned a virtual practice where women could receive thoughtful psychiatric care 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 care 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.”
