The Perinatal & Early Childhood Mental Health Program provides dedicated, compassionate care to support both parents and young children during the critical early years of life.
Perinatal Mental Health Support
The perinatal period brings immense change. Our clinic helps individuals navigate adjustment challenges, acute stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy and through the child’s first year.
Early Childhood Mental Health Support
Did you know that infants and young children process emotional experiences and traumatic events differently than older children and adults? Because early challenges can impact learning, social growth, and lifelong health, early intervention is key.
We provide specialized care for infants and children up to 5 years old who may be exhibiting early signs of:
- Anxiety or depression
- Attention deficit/hyperactivity challenges
- Post-traumatic stress
- Neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism
Our Services
Our clinical staff utilizes evidence-based, trauma-focused therapies to develop personalized treatment plans that optimize positive outcomes for your entire family. Services include:

- Assessments: Comprehensive mental health assessments and care planning.
