Being a mom 

What is Perinatal Mental Health?

Perinatal mental health, also know as maternal mental health, applies to the mental challenges before, during, and up to one year after childbirth.

Therapy for Moms

Maternal Mental Health is often overlooked in most women, but research has gathered evidence that Women of Color have been most affected by the lack of quality of treatment in maternal care. Women of Color are 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy complications compared to their White counterparts. Women of Color are 3 times more likely to experience Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders. In 2020, the rates of severe maternal morbidity was 63% higher in Black communities than White communities. 38% of Women of Color struggle with postpartum depression. Black babies are twice as likely to die before the age of one. However, it does not diminish the passion that we have for perinatal mental health in ALL women.
