Prenatal mental health group therapy
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the number one complication of childbirth, yet they are often overlooked or suffered in silence. Group psychotherapy has been shown to be effective in helping parents in the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum) to overcome and cope with the changes in mood and anxiety that so often accompany this life transition. Through the support of group therapists and peers, and the development of lifelong behavioral strategies, new and expecting parents can learn how to cope with discomfort and engage in meaningful life activities more fully.
