Perinatal
Psychiatry for Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Compassionate, evidence-based mental health support for pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood.
Maybe you thought pregnancy or postpartum would feel joyful, grounding, or natural.
But instead, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or emotionally disconnected.
You may love your baby deeply, but still feel like something is off inside you - and that can feel confusing or even isolating.
If this is your experience, you are not alone - and support is available.
The perinatal period (pregnancy through postpartum) brings major hormonal, emotional, and life changes that can significantly impact mental health.
Many women experience:
Anxiety or constant worry about their baby
Depression or emotional numbnessIntrusive thoughts or obsessive thinking
Difficulty bonding or feeling “like themselves”
These experiences are more common than most people realize - and they are treatable with the right care.
Symptoms are often dismissed as “normal motherhood stress”
Fear of judgment prevents women from speaking up
Many providers focus only on physical postpartum recovery
Mental health symptoms are under-screened during pregnancy
Women often assume they should “push through it”
Emotional & Cognitive
Persistent anxiety or intrusive worry
Mood swings, sadness, or emotional numbness
Feeling disconnected from your baby
Intrusive or distressing thoughts
Physical & Behavioral
Sleep disruption beyond newborn-related waking
Racing heart, tension, or panic symptoms
Avoidance of baby-related situations due to fear
Compulsive checking or reassurance seeking
