Some of the moments when women most need psychiatric support are also the ones when getting to an office feels impossible.

You're 36 weeks pregnant and exhausted. You have a newborn and haven't slept in weeks. You're managing perimenopause symptoms while running a household and a career. Driving to an appointment shouldn't be the barrier between you and feeling better.

That's exactly why I built my practice around telehealth. Every appointment happens through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform — no commute, no waiting room, no disruption to your day. Just focused, unhurried psychiatric care from a board-certified reproductive and integrative psychiatrist, wherever you are in New Jersey.

Warmly,

  • Anxiety, panic, & overwhelm

  • Depression & low mood

  • Hormonal mood changes (premenstrual dysphoric disorder, postpartum, perimenopause)

  • Perinatal depression & anxiety

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder

  • Insomnia & sleep difficulties

These are the conditions Dr. Zink most frequently treats via telehealth from her South Jersey office — chosen in part because virtual care is particularly well-suited to managing them during life's most demanding spans.

Direct Pay Telehealth Psychiatry — Worth It.

EleMental Psychiatry operates on a direct pay model, which means no insurance involvement and no limitations on how Dr. Zink evaluates and treats you.

Direct pay telehealth means faster access — new patients are typically seen within 1–2 weeks. It means longer, more focused appointments. And most importantly it means Dr. Zink can make the highest quality clinical decisions based on what's right for you, not what an insurer will approve, all while exploring a wider range of integrative treatment options suited to your specific needs.

Meet Dr. Susan Zink: New Jersey’s Telehealth Reproductive Psychiatrist

Dr. Zink built EleMental as a telehealth-first practice because the women who most need specialized reproductive psychiatric care are often the least able to get to an office. A newborn at home, a high-risk pregnancy, a demanding schedule — these shouldn't determine whether someone gets help.

With over 17 years of experience, board certification in adult psychiatry, and perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, Dr. Zink brings genuine specialty depth to every virtual appointment — the same expertise available in person, accessible from anywhere in New Jersey.

She holds perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, has published research on perinatal depression and anxiety, and serves as reproductive and integrative psychiatry faculty at a New Jersey residency program — actively shaping how the next generation of psychiatrists in this state approaches women's mental health.

Dr. Zink's Full Bio

Why Work with Dr. Zink:

    1. Dr. Zink completed her premedical education at Princeton University, followed by intensive medical and psychiatric training at Georgetown and UC San Diego

    2. Board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) in adult Psychiatry

    3. Completed perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International

    4. Published content and presented lectures on perinatal depression and anxiety

    5. Deep expertise in many conditions and specialized in women’s mental health, reproductive psychiatry, and integrative treatments

    6. Extensive experience helping thousands of people with mental health challenges

    7. Telehealth available statewide — see Dr. Zink from anywhere in New Jersey, with the same level of care and direct access as an in-person patient.

    1. Limited number of patients allows for highly personalized care and timely support

    2. Direct access to Dr. Zink via secure patient portal

    3. Convenient, flexible scheduling with minimal wait times for appointments

    4. Both in-person and virtual appointments available

    5. Close collaboration with other clinicians (e.g., therapists, primary care physician, OB/Gyn)

    1. Many psychiatrists don’t accept insurance because it limits care — insurance can dictate how long or how often you’re seen, require a diagnosis even when one isn’t appropriate, and sometimes demand access to private notes. 

    2. Patients who rely on insurance often face delays, difficulty reaching their clinician between appointments, and less personalized attention.

    3. I created a direct-pay practice to remove these barriers — so I can see new patients within 1–2 weeks, take the time for a thorough evaluation, design a personalized treatment plan, collaborate with your care team, and stay directly accessible when you need support.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Research consistently supports telehealth as equally effective to in-person psychiatric care for the conditions Dr. Zink treats — including anxiety, depression, hormonal mood changes, OCD, PTSD, and many other reproductive mental health concerns.. For many patients, the comfort and convenience of home-based appointments improves engagement and outcomes.

  • Yes. Dr. Zink is fully licensed by the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners and can prescribe psychiatric medications via telehealth for New Jersey patients. Certain controlled substances may require additional steps under New Jersey and federal regulations, but most psychiatric medications used for anxiety, depression, and hormonal mood disorders are fully manageable via telehealth.

  • Integrative psychiatry blends traditional psychiatric treatment with other complimentary and holistic options. This approach offers more treatment tools, including prescription medicine (like antidepressants, for example), lifestyle optimization, acupuncture, yoga, or evidence-backed natural supplements.

  • Reproductive psychiatry refers to mental health evaluation and treatment related to hormonal changes that occur during a woman’s lifespan.  During the premenstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause stages, psychiatric care often needs to be tailored in a unique way to manage symptoms and conditions.
