Maternal Mental Health

There's a lot of misinformation out there as about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood. While many women might experience mood changes surrounding the birth of their child, anywhere from 15-20% of mothers have more significant anxiety or depression. Here are some of the areas we help treat. With informed care, you can feel better. There is no reason for you to keep suffering alone in silence.

Infertility

Have you felt completely overwhelmed in the process of trying to get pregnant? Maybe you've felt irritable toward loved ones or you've stopped doing some of the things that used to make you feel like "you." You are not alone. You may want to speak to a maternal mental health care professional to learn more and help reduce any stress or anxiety you've been feeling.

Birth Trauma and Pregnancy Loss

If your labor and delivery felt scary and overwhelming, or maybe you feared for your life or your baby's life, this can constitute birth trauma. If you find that you are still thinking about what happened, even weeks or months afterward, you may consider talking to a maternal mental health professional to learn more and help you process your experience.

Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and OCD

Symptoms of a postpartum disorder can pop up anytime in the first year after your baby is born. If you are feeling extra irritable, or feeling like you can't bond with your baby, or maybe feeling resentment toward a partner or family member, you might want to consider speaking with a maternal mental health professional to learn more about how you can start to feel better.
