Therapy for Moms & Birthing People in South Pasadena, Los Angeles and throughout California

YOUR emotional wellness MATTERS.

New moms do better with support.

If it seems like you’re losing yourself along the way to becoming a parent, if you feel overwhelmed by what you’re going through, or struggling with a sense of loneliness and isolation, you’re not alone. Problems with mood and anxiety are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) affect up to 1 in 5 birthing people.

Whether you're having trouble adjusting to a whole new identity during early parenthood, struggling with sadness or depression that won’t go away, or having scary thoughts and constant worry, perinatal counseling and therapy can help you navigate the unexpected from pre-conception through pregnancy and postpartum.
