What our clients say about their experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My OB screened me at six weeks and said I was fine. I wasn't fine. I was smiling through every appointment while barely surviving at home. My therapist was the first person who actually asked the right questions and didn't move on until I answered honestly. That intake conversation changed everything.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I went back to work when my daughter was 12 weeks old and just shut down. I was going through the motions at work and at home, and I couldn't tell anyone because I was supposed to be grateful. My therapist helped me understand that functioning on the outside doesn't mean you're okay on the inside. Six months later I actually feel present in my own life.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“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.”

Mental health parity in Georgia
Georgia follows the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). Insurers regulated under Georgia law must cover mental health benefits at parity with medical benefits — the same copays, deductibles, and visit limits apply to mental health as to comparable medical care. Georgia Medicaid (Georgia Families) also includes behavioral health coverage. If you are insured and your mental health claim is denied, you have the right to appeal and to request the clinical criteria used. The Georgia Department of Insurance handles parity complaints.

Common questions
- Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that can affect people after childbirth. Symptoms include persistent sadness, difficulty bonding with your baby, exhaustion, feelings of worthlessness, and in some cases thoughts of self-harm. PPD is not a character flaw — it is a medical condition that responds well to treatment.
- Without treatment, PPD can persist for months or longer. With therapy (and sometimes medication), most people experience significant improvement within weeks. Starting treatment early leads to better outcomes.
- Yes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) are both evidence-based treatments with strong results for postpartum depression. Many Phoenix Health therapists specialize specifically in perinatal mood disorders.
- Most insurance plans cover mental health therapy under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Phoenix Health is in-network with major insurers. We verify your specific benefits before your first session.
- Yes. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to residents of Georgia. Sessions are conducted via secure video from your home, office, or anywhere private — no commute required. All Phoenix Health therapists are licensed and authorized to practice in Georgia.
- 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.
- 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.
