Pregnancy, Postpartum & Loss Services
I have extensive training and a significant amount of experience in treating women and men who are struggling during the perinatal period, and surrounding the loss of a pregnancy or infant. Some of the disorders that I treat include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also treat grief and loss connected to pregnancy or infant loss and infertility.
Do the following symptoms sound familiar?
These symptoms might indicate that you have a form of perinatal mood or anxiety disorder, such as postpartum depression. Some mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child is very common; however, 15 to 20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. If you are not feeling like yourself, an evaluation by a trained maternal mental health specialist can be helpful.
