Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring unique mental health challenges. We offer compassionate, specialized care for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders — including depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis — so you can be well for yourself and your baby.
Maternal Mental Health
Perinatal mental health conditions affect up to 1 in 5 women during pregnancy and the first year after birth. These include postpartum depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD (especially intrusive thoughts about harm), and postpartum psychosis. You are not alone, and you are not to blame.
We provide evidence-based, medication-safe (when needed) care that respects the unique needs of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Treatment includes supportive therapy, CBT, interpersonal therapy, and careful medication management in coordination with your OB or midwife.
Our Approach
Gentle, evidence-based, and tailored to your family's needs.
Comprehensive assessment of your mental health history, current symptoms, and pregnancy-related concerns.
Create a treatment plan — therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication if needed — that prioritizes your safety and baby's well-being.
Ongoing support through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, with flexibility for changing needs.
Comprehensive Treatment
We help you feel like yourself again — for your own sake and for your family.
If you need medication, we use the most pregnancy- and breastfeeding-compatible options, with shared decision-making.
Learn coping skills for intrusive thoughts, guilt, exhaustion, and the overwhelming pressure of new parenthood.
We'll work with your OB, midwife, pediatrician, or lactation consultant to ensure seamless support.
