Compassionate Therapy and Psychiatry for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond

Planning for a baby or adjusting to motherhood can be one of the most emotional and physically demanding times in life. If you’re navigating mood swings, anxiety, or fear about how your psychiatric medication may affect your baby, you’re not alone. Many OB-GYNs are hesitant to manage psychiatric medications, and many psychiatrists are not comfortable prescribing during pregnancy—leaving expecting parents without clear guidance or support.

At Mind Body Co-op, we understand the complex emotions and challenges that come with the maternal journey. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, currently pregnant, or adjusting postpartum, our team offers trauma-informed, evidence-based mental health care tailored to your stage of motherhood.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health Are Health

It can be frightening to have thoughts or feelings about motherhood that don’t align with what you expected. Feeling disconnected, irritable, anxious, or overwhelmed does not make you a bad parent—it makes you human.

Whether you’re navigating:

  • Pregnancy-related anxiety or depression

  • Postpartum depression or “baby blues”

  • Unplanned pregnancy

  • Fear around childbirth or medical trauma

  • Difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Questions around identity and motherhood
    …our maternal mental health clinicians are here to help.

Common Postpartum & Perinatal Mental Health Concerns

You are not alone if you’ve experienced:

  • Feeling overwhelmed and doubting your decision to become a parent

  • Guilt or shame due to high personal expectations

  • Feeling emotionally detached from your baby

  • Intrusive or racing thoughts

  • Feeling numb, empty, or like you’re on autopilot

  • Trouble focusing or sleeping, even when the baby sleeps

  • Fear of being judged or misunderstood for asking for help

  • Thoughts of running away or wanting a break you feel you can’t take

  • Constant worry or obsessive thoughts about your baby’s wellbeing

These are common—but treatable—signs of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. And they are nothing to be ashamed of.
