Perinatal Behavioral Health Services
We work hand-in-hand with you to help address mental health challenges, such as anxiety and depression, which can occur before, during pregnancy and after birth.
We offer psychiatric consultation and treatment, with services including preconception counseling; psychiatric medication management in pregnancy, during lactation and postpartum; and psychotherapy during the months before, during and after pregnancy.
We provide a supportive, compassionate and safe environment where you can talk about what you're experiencing, and we include you in treatment planning and evidence-based therapies for the many challenges that can occur during pregnancy and postpartum as well as perinatal loss and bereavement. The process is relatable and accessible.
