Perinatal Mental Health

Approach

Pregnancy and the postpartum period can be a time of profound transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But for many women and families, it can also be marked by anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and deep exhaustion. You are not alone. Perinatal mental health care offers a place to breathe, reflect, and begin to heal.

Our psychiatric care supports individuals through all stages of the perinatal journey, including:

  • Preconception planning for those with existing mental health conditions.
  • Emotional and psychiatric support during pregnancy, infertility, or loss.
  • Postpartum care for mood, anxiety, and adjustment disorders.
  • Compassionate evaluation and evidence-based treatment, including medication when indicated.
  • Supporting partners and family systems as part of the healing process.

Whether you're a first-time parent or navigating parenthood again, our goal is to help you feel seen, safe, and supported.
