What is a PMH-C certification?

PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) is awarded by Postpartum Support International (PSI) to clinicians who have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health — covering postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and related conditions. It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.

How do I know if I need therapy?

If you're struggling — with your mood, your thoughts, your relationship, or just how you're coping — that's enough of a reason to talk to someone. You don't need a diagnosis. A free consultation is a low-commitment first step.

🌊Perinatal Anxiety

Anxiety doesn't care that this is supposed to be a happy time.

"The anxiety started during pregnancy and hasn't gone away."

Real clients. Real relief.

What our clients say about their experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“"I couldn't sleep during pregnancy and everyone said just wait until the baby comes. But the insomnia wasn't tiredness, it was my mind refusing to let go. I'd lie there cataloging every possible thing that could go wrong. My therapist gave me real tools for a racing brain and taught me the difference between preparation and catastrophizing."”

— high-risk pregnancy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“"The anxiety started before I even got a positive test. By twenty weeks I had a list of symptoms I was tracking daily and a second opinion scheduled for every scan. My therapist helped me understand that anxiety in pregnancy isn't overcaution, it's a pattern my brain learned. Once I understood it, I could work with it instead of just fighting it."”

— expecting mom

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“"I spent most of my pregnancy convinced something was wrong. Every appointment felt like a countdown to bad news. Therapy helped me actually enjoy the last two months."”

— first-time mom
