Perinatal mental health conditions are disorders that occur during pregnancy or within the first year after childbirth. They can affect mood, thoughts, and behavior, often interfering with daily functioning, self-care, or the ability to bond with a baby. While some conditions may be mild and temporary, others are more serious and require professional care.
According to recent studies, nearly 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder, making it one of the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth. These struggles can feel overwhelming, but with the right support and care, recovery is possible.
At Emerald Wellness, we recognize the wide range of perinatal challenges and provide compassionate treatment for the following:
Perinatal mental health conditions are not a sign of weakness. They are real medical conditions that deserve understanding and treatment. Without care, they can disrupt family dynamics, prolong recovery after childbirth, and increase the risk of chronic mental health challenges.
Treatment helps parents manage symptoms, develop coping strategies, and strengthen resilience, while also supporting healthier family connections and stronger parent-child bonds. Seeking help is not only a step toward personal healing but also a powerful way to nurture a healthier start for both parent and child.
At Emerald Wellness, we understand the unique challenges that pregnancy and postpartum can bring. Our approach combines evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with perinatal-focused psychoeducation, group support, and holistic practices like mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy.
Guided by a trauma-informed and person-centered philosophy, we tailor every plan to address both immediate symptoms and long-term well-being. Our safe and supportive environment empowers parents to manage mood, reduce anxiety, and strengthen coping skills, while also fostering resilience, connection, and confidence during this important stage of life.
