Services & Approach
Group and individual therapy designed for the perinatal year.
Our perinatal mental health program offers two interlocking forms of care: weekly therapist-led group therapy for women in pregnancy and postpartum, and individual therapy for the work that needs more focused, one-on-one attention. Most women in our practice benefit from both.
Service One
Perinatal mental health group therapy
Our flagship service is a small, screened, confidential group therapy program for women across pregnancy and the first year postpartum. Cohorts are organized by stage and concern — for example, an expecting cohort focused on prenatal anxiety, a fourth-trimester cohort focused on postpartum mood and adjustment, and a longer-arc cohort for women navigating identity and relationship shifts later in the first year.
- Therapist-led, evidence-informed weekly sessions.
- Small cohorts (typically 6–8 women) to preserve depth and safety.
- Confidentiality maintained through screening and group agreements.
- Held at our Pasadena office; secure telehealth options as appropriate.
Service Two
Individual therapy for women
For women who prefer one-on-one care, or who are working through perinatal loss, birth trauma, complex relational dynamics, or specific clinical concerns that benefit from focused attention, we offer individual therapy with our licensed psychologists and therapists. Sessions are typically weekly and can be combined with group therapy when clinically indicated.
- Evidence-informed approaches including CBT, ACT, and trauma-aware care.
- Treatment plans built around your stage of pregnancy or postpartum.
- Coordinated, when needed, with OB providers, doulas, and pediatricians.
- Evening and weekend availability for working families.
How It Works
From first call to first session
The path into care is intentionally simple. You should not have to navigate a maze to start working on your mental health during one of the most demanding seasons of your life.
Brief intake conversation
A short phone or telehealth call helps us understand what is bringing you in, your stage in the perinatal year, and whether group therapy, individual therapy, or a combination is the right starting point.
Clinician matching
You are matched with a licensed clinician on our team whose background fits your concerns. We share that match openly, and we are comfortable adjusting it if the fit isn't right.
First session and ongoing care
Your first session is held at our Pasadena office or, when appropriate, via secure telehealth. From there, your clinician helps you build a sustainable cadence — usually weekly — that fits the realities of pregnancy and infant care.
What's Included
The supports built into the program
Care here isn't only what happens inside the therapy hour. The structure around it matters during the perinatal year.
Insurance verification
Our care coordinator works through your benefits before your first session, so you are not surprised by a bill, a copay, or an authorization requirement after the fact.
Flexible scheduling
Evenings, early mornings, and weekend slots are available. We work around feeding windows, infant nap schedules, work obligations, and partner availability where we can.
Care coordination
With your written consent, we coordinate with your OB, midwife, doula, pediatrician, or psychiatrist so that your mental health care is not happening in isolation from the rest of your team.
Honest referrals
If a higher level of care is appropriate — for example, intensive outpatient programming, psychiatric medication management, or specialized trauma treatment — we will say so and help connect you to it.
