PHILADELPHIA, PA — Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates has announced the recent addition of Dr. Emily Bernstein to their team of 25 outpatient mental health experts. Operating from the Paoli office and offering telepsychiatry services across Pennsylvania & New Jersey, Dr. Bernstein brings a wealth of experience in pregnancy treatment planning, postpartum care, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and managing psychiatric symptoms of menopause.
Dr. Bernstein carries an illustrious career marked by her tenure as the Director of Crozer’s Women’s Behavioral Health program for over a decade. She is board-certified by The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Her academic credentials include graduating summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania and completing both her Medical Degree and Psychiatric Residency at the same esteemed institution.
Thrilled about her new role, Dr. Bernstein said, “I’m very excited to join the team here at Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates. I’m from the Philadelphia suburbs and have dedicated my career to giving back to the Philadelphia community. It’s great to know that this will continue with my work at Rittenhouse.”
Her arrival is a significant boost to Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates’ mission to provide specialized care in women’s mental health. Founder Chris Pagnani, MD, emphasized the importance of her role saying, “Women’s Mental Health is not general psychiatry. Medication management through pregnancy and postpartum periods, PMDD, and peri-menopausal symptoms are best treated by a specialist. We’re thrilled to have Dr. Bernstein serving that role.”
When she’s not helping patients navigate their mental health journeys, Dr. Bernstein enjoys reading, hiking with her dog Piper, and spending quality time with her husband and children. As a Philadelphia native, she and her family are ardent supporters of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies.
This expansion of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates’ team and services aims to underscore their commitment to providing comprehensive mental health care, particularly for women, in the Philadelphia community. With Dr. Bernstein’s appointment, they continue to build on their reputation as one of the region’s leading mental health service providers.
