Perinatal Mental Health

Therapy

Learning of a pregnancy can mark the beginning of a significant life transition. Whether that pregnancy is planned or unplanned, complicated or problem-free, ends in a live birth or not, many individuals can find themselves in need of additional support.

Delivery, adjustment to an infant’s demands, assumption of new roles, and impact on identity and relationships can further contribute to felt stress. As many as 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience perinatal depression or anxiety.

In response to this need, Peak City Psychology has clinicians who specialize in caring for individuals during the time of pregnancy through 2-3 years postpartum. These clinicians can address the following concerns: grief and loss, adjustment or relationship problems, anxiety, depression, traumatic experience(s), and OCD.
