Mental Health Care Designed for the Postpartum Journey
Medication Management & Psychiatric Evaluation
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management tailored to pregnancy and the postpartum period. Care includes individualized risk-benefit analysis, symptom monitoring, and education on sleep, self-care, and emotional wellbeing to support long-term stability.
Perinatal Day Treatment Program
A structured day treatment program designed for pregnant and postpartum individuals who need consistent clinical support. Each patient receives a personalized care plan that addresses mood changes, anxiety, trauma, and the emotional demands of early parenthood.
Individual & Group Therapy
Evidence-based therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches. Therapy focuses on coping skills, emotional regulation, relationship changes, and confidence during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Partner & Family Support
Supportive counseling and education for partners and families navigating the perinatal period together. Services include guided conversations, psychoeducation, and peer support groups to strengthen communication, understanding, and shared resilience.
Holistic & Integrative Therapies
Whole-person care that complements clinical treatment. Offerings include mindfulness practices, therapeutic yoga, and nutrition counseling to support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and overall postpartum wellness.
On-Site Infant-Inclusive Support
A baby-welcoming environment that allows parents to receive care without separation. Services include infant-inclusive sessions and lactation-aware support to reduce stress and promote bonding during treatment.
On-Site Childcare Support
On-site childcare is available and provided by certified postpartum doulas. This support allows parents to focus on treatment while knowing their infant is cared for in a safe, nurturing environment.
