Frequently Asked Questions
No, you do not need a formal diagnosis to begin. Many parents seek support when they notice ongoing mood changes, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts during pregnancy or after childbirth. Our team will provide a confidential assessment to understand your needs and determine if this program is the right level of care for you.
Yes. We recognize that family support is an important part of recovery. Partners and family members may join select sessions for education, communication strategies, and support tools. Involving loved ones helps them better understand your experience and strengthens your home environment for lasting wellness.
While our general IOP addresses a wide range of mental health needs, the Perinatal Wellness IOP is designed specifically for pregnancy and postpartum challenges. It provides targeted support for concerns such as traumatic birth experiences, adjusting to motherhood, intrusive or anxious thoughts, and the resurfacing of past trauma.
The experiences and challenges of the perinatal period are unique. Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood bring profound biological, emotional, and identity shifts that differ from other life stages. Our clinical team has advanced training in perinatal mental health, and our programming reflects the physical, emotional, and relational realities of this time — factors that may be overlooked or misunderstood in a more general program.
Our perinatal IOP provides individualized, trauma-informed care that recognizes the profound physical, emotional, and relational challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood. We prioritize self-understanding, collaborative goal-setting, and consistent support, while remaining flexible and responsive to each client’s needs — building skills and insight that support both immediate relief and long-term wellness.
Yes. We provide weekly materials designed specifically for clients to share with their identified support people. We also offer sessions involving support people when agreed upon between the client and treatment team.
The length of time in our IOP is determined by each client’s individual needs. It is typically no shorter than 6 weeks and no longer than 12 weeks.
Aftercare planning is discussed with you throughout your time in treatment, so you have a thoughtfully developed plan in place once you’re ready for discharge. Many clients transition to less intensive support, such as our Aftercare Program, to sustain progress and stay encouraged as they navigate parenting and daily life.
