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.

Virtual therapy for Los Angeles families

Los Angeles is a city that demands a car, a plan, and a tolerance for traffic — none of which are easy to maintain with a newborn. For parents across LA, the postpartum period collides hard with the city's realities: the cost of living is high, the commutes are long, childcare is difficult to find and afford, and the sprawl means that even when friends exist, they're rarely close. The Valley, West LA, Silver Lake, Pasadena, Long Beach — each neighborhood has its own character but shares the same structural challenge: building a life here is expensive and exhausting even before a baby arrives. Therapy in LA traditionally meant navigating traffic to an office, finding parking, and spending 30 minutes on the road for a 50-minute session. Phoenix Health therapists see clients in LA entirely via telehealth — from home, during the baby's nap, or whenever a window opens. Our therapists specialize in postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and the particular kind of identity shift that motherhood brings. Asking for support here doesn't require a commute.

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
