Perinatal therapy is mental health care focused on the emotional and psychological changes that can happen during pregnancy and after childbirth. It can address a range of concerns, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, mood changes during pregnancy, birth-related stress, and the transition to parenthood. Providers who specialize in perinatal mental health — some of whom hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) — are trained to support you through these experiences. On Headway, you can look for providers in Scottsdale with perinatal specializations by reading their bios.

Consider reaching out to a provider if emotional changes after childbirth are affecting your daily life, relationships, or ability to care for yourself or your baby. Some mood changes in the first two weeks after delivery are common, but if feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, or disconnection persist or intensify beyond that period, talking to a licensed therapist or psychiatrist can help.
