Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health

Counseling through Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period

Perinatal psychology is a specialized area of psychotherapy. Many psychophysiological factors influence your mental health at this time. It’s important that you seek mental health guidance from healthcare providers who have been trained in this very specific area. Your body and your mind are different during this time, and standard treatment for mental health care can be counterproductive.

I have specialized education in this area, and I also work with colleagues who provide services exclusively for women in the perinatal period. Please reach out for counseling or referrals during your pregnancy and postpartum seasons of life.

Transfiguration

I dreamt myself into a mother

but when I became her, I had to

dream her back into a woman

back into a woman

back into a woman

again.
