Outpatient Mental Health Services in Philadelphia

Sunstone Psychiatry for Women offers outpatient mental health services in Philadelphia, including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy.

We offer virtual, outpatient mental health services for women throughout Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania. Every plan of care starts with a comprehensive evaluation and is shaped by your symptoms, history, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

What Is Outpatient Psychiatric Care?

Sunstone was founded by Jessica Benson, MD, and Morgan Lewis, DO — two board-certified psychiatrists who spent years treating women together at Main Line Health’s Women’s Emotional Wellness Center before building an online psychiatry practice of their own. That clinical background shapes how we practice today: thoughtful, individualized, and attentive to the hormonal, reproductive, and psychosocial factors that often go overlooked in general psychiatric care.

 

Outpatient care means you receive ongoing psychiatric support without hospitalization or a higher level of care — appointments happen virtually, on a schedule that fits your life, with the same provider following your progress over time.

Services We Offer

Psychiatric Evaluation

A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is the starting point for every patient. We take the time to understand your symptoms, history, and goals before recommending a path forward.

When medication is clinically appropriate, we develop and monitor a treatment plan that reflects your symptoms, preferences, and response over time.

All appointments are conducted virtually through a secure telehealth platform, giving you access to psychiatric care from wherever you are in Pennsylvania.

For patients who would benefit from combining medication management with talk therapy, we offer coordinated psychotherapy support alongside psychiatric care.

Self-Pay, Out-of-Network Care

Sunstone is a self-pay, out-of-network practice, which allows our psychiatrists to spend more time with each patient and make clinical decisions independent of insurance requirements. Payment is due at the time of service, and a superbill is available upon request for patients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

Conditions We Treat

Our outpatient services support women managing a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

Anxiety

Depression

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

Perinatal & Postpartum Mood Concerns

Bipolar Disorder

ADHD, Burnout, and Life-Stage Transitions

FAQs About Outpatient Mental Health Services in Philadelphia

What outpatient mental health services does Sunstone offer?

We provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and coordinated therapy support for women, delivered entirely through telehealth. Every service begins with a comprehensive evaluation so treatment reflects your specific symptoms and goals.

No — you can be located anywhere in Pennsylvania at the time of your appointment. While many of our patients are based in and around Philadelphia, our telepsychiatry model allows us to serve women throughout the state, provided you’re physically in Pennsylvania during each visit.

Sunstone is an out-of-network, self-pay practice. Payment is due at the time of service, and we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

A psychiatric evaluation can help clarify what type of care is the right starting point. Many patients benefit from a combination of medication management and therapy, while others need only one. We’ll help you determine the best fit during your evaluation.

After you submit an inquiry form, we typically respond within two business days. From there, we’ll schedule your initial evaluation and begin building your treatment plan.

Yes. Treatment isn’t static — if your needs change, we can adjust your care plan to include additional therapy support, a change in medication approach, or a different appointment cadence.

We work with adult women across every life stage, from young adulthood through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.

We’re happy to answer questions before you commit to an inquiry form. You can call our office directly or reach out through our contact page with any questions about whether our services align with your needs.
