I'm Dr. Kristin Lasseter, a board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of Reproductive Psychiatry & Counseling (RPC). Since starting RPC in 2018, it has grown to be a practice devoted to expert, compassionate care for individuals navigating mental health concerns across the reproductive lifespan—including pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, premenstrual mood disorders, and perimenopause.
My interest in reproductive mental health began in college, when I took a course in reproductive endocrinology and became fascinated by the powerful influence of sex hormones on both physical and mental well-being. That curiosity—paired with my love of medicine and commitment to improving mental health care—led me to the field of reproductive psychiatry.
When I moved to Austin in 2014, I was surprised and disheartened to find a lack of local services for patients experiencing hormone-related psychiatric symptoms. That gap inspired me to build RPC—now one of the leading reproductive psychiatry clinics in Texas. Since founding RPC, I’ve been committed to increasing access, awareness, and education around reproductive mental health through clinical care, professional training, and community advocacy.
My clinical work focuses on helping patients find clarity, relief, and confidence through personalized, evidence-based care. Whether you’re navigating perinatal anxiety, postpartum depression, PMDD, pregnancy loss, or medication decisions during pregnancy or lactation, I take time to understand your values, your goals, and your story. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental—centered on helping you make informed decisions that feel right for you.
I believe the mental health needs of women and birthing people—especially during reproductive transitions—have been historically overlooked. At RPC, we’re working to change that.
