Hi, I'm Dr. Nina Higgins, I'm a native New Mexican fellowship-trained reproductive psychiatrist. I am passionate about women's and perinatal mental health and have worked in this field for almost 10 years.
Mental Health concerns in pregnancy and the postpartum period can feel scary and isolating. Both patients and providers think there are few treatment options for pregnant and breastfeeding patients.
I help women find balance and feel like themselves again using a holistic approach including evidence based medication, lifestyle modifications, and complimentary treatments.
My Credentials:
- Board Certified in Psychiatry
- B.S. in Psychology from the University of New Mexico
- M.D. from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine
- Residency in Psychiatry from the University of New Mexico, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
- Fellowship in Women's Mental Health from Brown University, Providence, RI
What does it mean to be a reproductive psychiatrist?
Did you know that most mental health providers get minimal training in treating mental health disorders in pregnancy and the postpartum period?
I am a fellowship trained reproductive psychiatrist. This means I completed medical school, a 4 year general psychiatry residency and then completed an extra year of specialized training focusing on perinatal and women's mental health. I have spent the last 9 years almost exclusively treating this population.
