What is a PMH-C certification?

PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) is awarded by Postpartum Support International (PSI) to clinicians who have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health — covering postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and related conditions. It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.

How do I know if I need therapy?

If you're struggling — with your mood, your thoughts, your relationship, or just how you're coping — that's enough of a reason to talk to someone. You don't need a diagnosis. A free consultation is a low-commitment first step.

What our clients say about their experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My emergency C-section left me with nightmares and panic attacks. I couldn't talk about the birth without shaking. Therapy helped me process the trauma and reclaim my story. I'm pregnant again now, and I actually feel ready.”

— expecting mom of 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I had intrusive thoughts that terrified me. I was too ashamed to tell anyone, even my partner. My therapist explained postpartum OCD and helped me understand I wasn't dangerous. The intrusive thoughts are 90% gone now. I wish I'd reached out sooner.”

— mom of 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“After three failed IVF rounds, I was told to 'just stay positive.' My therapist was the first person who acknowledged the grief, the anger, and the exhaustion — and helped me process what I'd been through. I finally felt seen.”

— hopeful mom

Mental health parity in New York

New York has some of the strongest mental health parity protections in the country. The New York State Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Law (and Timothy's Law for employer plans) prohibits insurers from imposing visit limits on mental health services and requires coverage at parity with medical care. The PARITY Act further strengthened enforcement. New York insurers cannot require prior authorization for initial mental health visits, cannot limit sessions to a fixed annual number, and cannot charge higher copays for mental health than for comparable medical specialist visits. File complaints with the New York Department of Financial Services.
