Support through pregnancy, birth, and everything after.
Becoming a parent reorganizes almost everything — your body, your sleep, your relationships, your sense of who you are. We offer specialized, unhurried therapy for people trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or grieving a loss.

Care matched to where you are.
Every clinician on this team has specific training in perinatal mental health, and you are matched by a person rather than a form.
Individual therapy
For perinatal anxiety, depression, and mood changes — before, during, and after pregnancy. In person or by video.
Pregnancy and infant loss
Grief work for miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, and infant death — at whatever pace you need, for as long as you need it.
Birth trauma
Trauma-focused therapy for difficult, frightening, or dismissive birth experiences, including emergency deliveries and NICU stays.
Fertility and trying to conceive
Support through IVF, IUI, donor conception, surrogacy, and the long uncertainty of unexplained infertility.
Couples and partners
The transition to parenthood puts real pressure on a relationship. We work with both partners on the division of labor, intimacy, and resentment that builds quietly.
Care coordination
If you need an OB, a psychiatrist, a lactation consultant, or a pelvic floor PT, our coordinator finds them and follows up — so you aren't managing referrals on four hours of sleep.
You don't need a diagnosis to start.
People reach out in the middle of things like these:
- Anxiety that won't turn off
- Intrusive or scary thoughts
- Rage and irritability
- Feeling numb, or not bonded
- A birth that didn't go as planned
- Miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss
- Fertility treatment and IVF
- Termination for medical reasons
- Feeding and sleep struggles
- NICU stays
- Resentment toward a partner
- Grief for who you were before
women with a recent live birth report symptoms of postpartum depression, and a large share are never identified by a clinician. That gap is the part we can do something about.

Partners and non-birthing parents
Postpartum depression and anxiety affect fathers, non-birthing parents, and adoptive parents too — and it is usually missed, because nobody screens for it. If you are the one holding everything together and quietly falling apart, that's a reason to come in, not a reason to wait.
Bring the baby
Infants are welcome in session. Feed, rock, pace the room — none of it is a disruption. If a video session during a nap is the only thing that's realistic right now, that works too.
Four steps, and we do most of them.
- 1
Reach out
A short form or a phone call. Tell us as much or as little as you want.
- 2
Free consultation
A 15-minute call with our intake coordinator to understand what you're looking for and check your insurance.

Matched to a clinician
We match on fit and availability, not just on who has an open slot. If it isn't right after a session or two, we'll rematch you.

First session
Usually within a week or two. Greenpoint, Union Square, Midtown West, or video.
The things people are most afraid to ask.
I have scary thoughts about the baby. Will you report me?
Intrusive thoughts are extremely common in the postpartum period and are not the same as intent to harm. Clinicians who work in this area know the difference well. We talk with you openly about what we are and aren't required to report, and nothing about having these thoughts — which is a symptom, not a plan — triggers a report.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within one to two weeks. Tell the intake coordinator if it's urgent — we hold some capacity for perinatal clients specifically, because the window matters.
Can I do this while on medication?
Yes. Many clients do both. We don't prescribe, but we can work alongside your reproductive psychiatrists and can refer you to one who is current on medication safety in pregnancy and lactation.
Is this only for mothers?
No. We see fathers, non-birthing parents, adoptive and foster parents, LGBTQ+ parents, and people using surrogates or donors.
What if I'm not pregnant yet and just thinking about it?
That's a good time to come in — especially if you have a history of depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, or previous loss. Preventive work before conception genuinely lowers risk.
Do you take insurance?
We're in network with Aetna and Northwell Direct. For any other plan we'll verify your out-of-network benefits before your first session and provide superbills for reimbursement. Sliding-scale spots and payment plans are available.
You don't have to wait until it gets worse.
Reach out and we'll take it from there.
