Who We Help

Pregnancy Behavioral Health

Don’t struggle in silence. We know how to help.

Studies show that one in five women will experience clinical depression, yet never seek help. Daily responsibilities and societal pressures can leave women feeling isolated and unable to pursue treatment.

At Family Psychiatry and Therapy, we offer a supportive environment where women can address depression, anxiety, trauma, and other pregnancy behavioral health needs.

Our services include:

  • Preconception evaluation and counseling
  • Comprehensive psychiatric assessment
  • Medication consultation for pregnancy and postpartum
  • Individual therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Stress management and coping skills

Every woman’s needs are unique, and our team tailors treatment to each patient’s specific goals and challenges.

Preparing for Pregnancy

Pregnancy is often a joyful time, but for many women, it brings anxiety and stress. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Our team at Family Psychiatry and Therapy helps expectant mothers develop personalized coping strategies and offers various treatment options to support mental health during this major life transition.

Addressing past issues during pregnancy
Pregnancy can trigger past unresolved issues. Childhood depression, anxiety, or trauma may resurface as you prepare for motherhood. Our team at Family Psychiatry and Therapy provides compassionate support, helping women or birth parents confront these feelings and develop resilience for a healthy pregnancy and beyond.

Understanding postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is common, affecting 10–15% of new mothers. Signs include:

• Difficulty bonding with the baby
• Difficulty nursing or feeding the baby
• Mood swings and irritability
• Panic attacks or anxiety
• Insomnia, excessive sleepiness
• Fear of inadequacy as a parent
• Bizarre thoughts, fears, or dreams

Seeking early treatment can help mothers regain confidence and embrace the joys of parenthood.

Building a supportive parent team
For many couples, the stress of parenting can strain relationships. Couples therapy fosters communication, helping partners understand each other’s needs and work together effectively.

After birth, continuing support
Parenting is a journey with new challenges at every stage. Therapy offers continued support, helping parents handle stress, maintain communication, and develop strong, resilient relationships.

A specialist is on your side.
Our team at Family Psychiatry and Therapy specializes in pregnancy-related issues and postpartum depression, tailoring treatment to each mother’s unique needs. Many of our providers are members of Post-Partum Support International, a leading organization dedicated to supporting the postpartum parent. We aim to provide ongoing support so mothers can thrive throughout their parenting journey.
