Virtual therapy for Brooklyn families

Brooklyn has become one of the most family-dense boroughs in New York, with neighborhood after neighborhood rebuilding around young families who came for the energy and stayed for the schools. In Williamsburg, Park Slope, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy, Greenpoint, and DUMBO, new parenthood looks different by block β€” but the underlying experiences of postpartum depression, anxiety, and identity shift are consistent across all of them. Brooklyn parents are often highly educated, highly self-aware, and familiar with therapy as a concept β€” but still find themselves surprised by how hard the postpartum period is, and still find themselves delaying help for the same reasons everyone does: time, logistics, insurance confusion, the sense that it's not bad enough yet. Phoenix Health provides telehealth therapy to Brooklyn families with sessions via video β€” no stroller on the subway, no finding childcare for an office visit. Our therapists hold PMH-C certification and specialize in the full range of perinatal mental health challenges. We work with your insurance. Getting started is one phone call or one form.

What our clients say about their experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œMy 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.”

β€” expecting mom of 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œI 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.”

β€” mom of 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

β€œAfter 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 β€” and helped me process what I'd been through. I finally felt seen.”

β€” hopeful mom

It represents the gold standard of specialization in this field.
