Becoming a mother is a profound and transformative experience—one that brings immense joy, but also unique emotional and psychological challenges. At our practice, we specialize in women’s reproductive mental health, providing compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals navigating the complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and the perinatal period.

What we help with

  • Perinatal & Postpartum Anxiety (excessive worry, intrusive thoughts, racing mind)

  • Perinatal & Postpartum Depression (low mood, overwhelm, loss of interest, guilt)

  • Birth Trauma & PTSD (traumatic birth experiences, medical trauma)

  • Pregnancy Loss & Grief (miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons)

  • Fertility & Reproductive Challenges (infertility, IVF stress, decision-making support)

  • Identity & Relationship Shifts (adjusting to motherhood, changing roles, parenting stress)
