Buffy Sheff Ross, Msw, Licsw

Are you and your partner struggling to have a baby? Have you experienced a pregnancy loss or had to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons? For the past seven years my clinical practice has focused on patients facing infertility, pregnancy loss and mood disorders during pregnancy and postpartum. We know 1 in 5 women struggle with a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder during pregnancy and postpartum. Postpartum depression and anxiety is treatable with talk therapy and medication management or a combination of both. This can be an isolating time, as no one talks about this. Realizing you need to talk with someone in confidence is the first step. Contacting me for support will help you grieve your loss and help you navigate decisions about next steps. I can follow you through your reproductive journey.

With over 30 years in clinical practice our goal together is to help you feel the best that you can in order to care for your family.

I believe therapy is a partnership and we will work together to find the right coping strategies for you. I am passionate about helping you feel the best that you can. I take your lead when it comes to your treatment plan.

Our first appointment is an opportunity for us to begin establishing a therapeutic relationship. I do ask questions about who your supports are, your mental health history, your coping strategies, and what you are hoping to gain from therapy. Our initial appointments help to build a trusting relationship that continues to strengthen as we continue to meet.
