Perinatal and Reproductive Mental Health
Wildflower works with individuals and couples at various junctures in their journeys towards and through parenthood. Our clinicians receive ongoing specialized training in perinatal and reproductive mental health in order to ensure effective evidence-based psychotherapy that also addresses the socio-cultural influences on mental health. We believe in providing comprehensive care focused on all areas of concern related to reproductive mental health. These encompass pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, identity issues, sexuality, and intimacy concerns secondary to your reproductive journey, pregnancy and infant loss, breastfeeding and feeding concerns, perinatal trauma, and parenting concerns.
We also help people confront psychosocial challenges related to the menstrual cycle and menopause. We often see clients with premenstrual dysphoria, gynecological cancers as well as other conditions affecting the reproductive tract. Additionally, we address concerns related to trauma-based disorders as well as sexual concerns that may impact reproductive mental health.
We provide attuned psychotherapy in the following areas:
