Summary from the provider's own website.

In their own words

At some point from pregnancy through the first year of giving birth, 15-20% of all women will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (Wisner, KL. JAMA Psychiatry, March 2013), including Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Anxiety, Postpartum or Pregnancy Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Postpartum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Postpartum Psychosis. The causes of PMAD are many and complex, and research continues to uncover different factors that influence a woman’s developing PMAD. Some women are more sensitive to hormonal changes, while others have a genetic vulnerability. Women in abusive relationships and women who have conceived following fertility treatment, women who have had difficult pregnancies or traumatic births are also at a greater risk for developing a PMAD.

Choosing a perinatal therapist

Perinatal therapists are counselors who focus on pregnancy, birth, and the first year. They're licensed (LMFT, LCSW, psychologist), and the PMH-C certification means extra training in perinatal mental health. Most offer video sessions, which matters when leaving the house is the hard part.
