MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH

Specialized care for pregnant and postpartum people

The Sonia Schorr Sloan Maternal Mental Health Program is a community-based, outpatient program which provides effective, evidence-based psychotherapy and maternal behavioral health care for people who experience pregnancy loss and/or perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Such support and education will help ensure you gain and strengthen the coping skills to move forward, successfully recover, and care for yourself and your family.

Join our Mom’s Space weekly support group led by clinicians with specialty training (PSI trained). Mom’s Space is a safe space for women and birthing people to connect, share, and ask questions. We provide education about various topics pertaining to maternal mental health and facilitate access to additional support and wellness services. Individual therapy sessions are also available.
