Perinatal mental health therapy focuses on the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals during the perinatal period, which includes pregnancy and the first year postpartum. This critical phase of life can be a time of immense joy and transformation, but it can also present significant mental health challenges. Studies show that 1in 5 women, and 1 in 10 men, will experience perinatal depression and/or anxiety. Fortunately, these conditions are not only manageable but also curable with appropriate therapy and support. Perinatal mental health therapy provides support through tailored interventions and strategies aimed at helping individuals navigate these complex emotions and adjust to their new roles and responsibilities.
Counseling during the prenatal and postpartum period can be done as an individual or as a couple, depending on the needs of the family.
