Pregnancy & Postpartum

Support and Healing for Perinatal Mental Health

​

Every birthing person deserves compassionate support throughout their journey to parenthood. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed, remember that you’re not alone. Many parents experience mood changes during or after the birth of a child, and for 15 to 20% of women, these feelings can become more intense and disruptive.

If your symptoms persist or begin to impact your daily life, reaching out for help can be the first step toward healing. Together, we can work to find relief and support on your path to wellness.

What is a PMAD?

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are distressing feelings that may arise during pregnancy or in the first year after childbirth. While PMADs can feel isolating, they are treatable with the right support and intervention.

​

Common PMAD Symptoms
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms for more than two weeks, you may be facing a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder:

• Intense anger or irritability

• Sleep disturbances (difficulty sleeping or oversleeping)

• Trouble focusing or memory challenges

• Difficulty making decisions

• Loss of interest in self-care

• Changes in appetite (loss of appetite or overeating)

• Difficulty with daily tasks

• Frequent crying spells

• Withdrawal from activities you once enjoyed

• Withdrawal from friends and family

• Persistent lack of energy

• Feelings of guilt or worthlessness

• Intrusive, upsetting thoughts

• Feelings of anxiety or panic

 

If any of these resonate with you, let’s talk. You don’t have to navigate this alone, and you’re not to blame. Support is here, and together, we can work toward a place of understanding and relief.
