Women's Health Program

You're not alone.

Our Women’s Health Program is focuses on providing treatment of mood and anxiety disorders across the reproductive lifespan. This program was developed to provide expert, evidence-based care for women experiencing emotional and psychological challenges during pregnancy and postpartum.


We understand that while bringing a child into the world is often viewed as a joyful experience, it can also be one of the most vulnerable and emotionally complex times in a woman’s life. Many women suffer in silence, unsure if what they’re feeling is “normal” or afraid to speak up.


You’re not alone, and help is available.


We specialize in treating:


  • Peripartum Anxiety: Excessive worry, panic, or fear that interferes with daily functioning during pregnancy or after birth.
  • Peripartum Depression: Persistent sadness, irritability, low energy, or difficulty bonding with baby in the perinatal period.
  • Peripartum OCD: Distressing intrusive thoughts (often about harm coming to the baby) and compulsive behaviors or mental rituals aimed at reducing anxiety.


These symptoms can be deeply distressing, but they are also treatable. Our team offers a warm, nonjudgmental environment where women can feel safe exploring their experiences and developing the tools to heal.

Therapy For Moms

Treatments Offered

Our program uses evidence-based treatments specifically tailored to perinatal mental health:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A structured approach to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): The gold-standard treatment for peripartum OCD, designed to reduce the power of intrusive thoughts and break the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
  • Behavioral Activation: A core strategy for addressing peripartum depression by increasing engagement with meaningful, mood-enhancing activities.

We believe that caring for mothers is one of the most powerful ways to support families. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or months into motherhood, we’re here to help you feel more like yourself again, with care that’s grounded in science and guided by compassion.
