If you’re looking for a reproductive psychiatrist in Southwest Florida, Dr. Brittany Ranieri provides specialized care for postpartum depression, anxiety during pregnancy, PMDD, and other hormone-related mental health concerns.

Based in Bonita Springs and serving Naples, Estero, and Fort Myers, care is available in-person and via telehealth across Florida.

Dr. Ranieri specializes in women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry across the lifespan. Reproductive psychiatry focuses on mental health during times of hormonal change — including the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause.

These transitions can significantly impact mood, anxiety, sleep, and overall well-being, and require specialized, thoughtful care. Reproductive psychiatry encompasses perinatal psychiatry including postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, perimenopausal mood changes, fertility challenges, perinatal loss, and more. Dr. Ranieri has worked extensively with pregnant and postpartum women in her psychiatry residency training. She founded the first-in-the-state reproductive psychiatry track at the University of South Florida residency program.

Many patients come to us after feeling dismissed or told their symptoms are “just hormonal.” Reproductive psychiatry takes these experiences seriously — offering personalized, evidence-based care that considers both mental health and the biological changes happening in your body. At Salt and Light Psychiatry, we have options for perinatal psychiatric care. Dr. Ranieri can help with a one-time consultation, or she can assist with care throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
