We recognize that the experiences of pregnancy and birth can be emotionally complicated and clients often benefit from extra support during this time. We offer clients support with services that are relationally-oriented, empathic, and confidential.
Clients who may especially benefit from these short term services include those who have experienced perinatal loss, infertility, past birth trauma or other past trauma including sexual abuse, problems with body image, past history of dependency on substances, or previous difficulties including depression, OCD, or anxiety. This program also helps to find longer term referrals for ongoing emotional wellness.
We also welcome any client who simply may wish to have some extra time and space to reflect on their concerns and hopes as they journey through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences. Our focus is on welcoming and “being with" all of our clients, wherever each person is.

Postpartum Support Group
We offer a Postpartum Support Group designed for Midwife Center clients who would benefit from increased support during this amazing and challenging first-ish year of baby. Whether you are a first-time parent or have more than one child, you are welcome to come to give and receive support. This group is virtual. We are lucky to have grant support for this group, so it is free of charge for our clients to participate in.
Perinatal Therapy Group
This therapeutic group is designed to support pregnant and postpartum clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety and/or trauma related problems. We will bill your insurance. The Preinatal Therapy Group will occur in a time-limited series. Please ask your Providers or the Front Office team for more information.
