Therapist for postpartum anxiety
At the suggestion of PSPers, I went to the Motherhood Center. They were able to connect me with a practitioner quickly (within a few days of my initial email). If calling feels overwhelming, you can send an inquiry through their website. They also offer three tiers (support groups, therapist, and support group and therapist). I was prescribed medication within 4 days of my initial inquiry which felt really promising.Therapist for postpartum anxiety
I sought treatment at the Motherhood Center and it has made a world of difference. They offer therapy, medication treatment, and more. Highly recommended.Therapist for postpartum anxiety
Highly recommend The Motherhood Center, and Stephanie Simon https://www.drstephaniesimon.com/ (I found her through the Motherhood Center, but she has since gone out on her own).Therapist for postpartum anxiety
I cannot recommend The Motherhood Center enough. It provides an in depth group experience with therapy and psychiatry.On the baby fence at 39
Apart from the physical elements, I highly encourage you to connect with The Motherhood Center. I credit their support group for moms considering or having another baby after a PMAD (postpartum anxiety or depression) for helping me have a vastly different pregnancy and postpartum experience the second time. And there were a lot of folks in my group who had birth trauma, or were scarred from having babies in the pandemic. You don’t have to be pregnant to join, you can be considering having another. The group and staff were so helpful. I also did EMDR therapy to deal with some birth trauma. Regardless of if you decide to have another kid, you deserve healing.Looking for therapist for post partum anxiety
I wanted to give you a strong recommendation for doing an intake with The Motherhood Center of New York: https://www.themotherhoodcenter.com/. I'm not sure if they are offering in-person outpatient therapy yet - but they are ramping up their in person offering. I am 18 months post-partum with my second child. I had anxiety and depression during pregnancy with my first, and then post-partum with my second child. I had my first real therapy experience seeking help after the second birth. TMC has been amazing for me because they are at the cutting edge of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, both from a therapy and medication perspective. I have had outpatient therapy, psychiatry and two separate stays in their partial hospitalization program (a separate story...). They were a reassuring place to have a first therapy experience. A few specifics that might be helpful: I did remote outpatient therapy then in-person for their partial hospitalization program. Remote (due to Covid) was surprisingly productive compared to in person. They helped me think about how to create a private space in the home (it's remarkable what sound machines can do...). One lesson I have learnt from peers who sought help at TMC is that treating anxiety BEFORE birth hugely reduces the risk of post-partum mental health issues. So, it's so sensible for you to seek help before a second pregnancy. I think TMC would tell you that there is every chance you can make that second experience an easier one than the first. TMC has some great (I think, remote) support groups for people planning another pregnancy after a post-partum mental health disorder.Looking for therapist for post partum anxiety
I have been working with a psychiatrist at The Motherhood Center and have found their processes and services to be so wonderful – it's awesome to work with professionals who are specifically experts in perinatal mental health. I have not worked with their therapists/psychologists, but assume they will be equally great (more info here: https://www.themotherhoodcenter.com/counseling-and-consultation-overview). I believe they do both in-person at their Manhattan office and virtual sessions. I highly recommend completing an initial evaluation with them and seeing if they could be a good fit for you.Psychiatrist for severe postpartum anxiety
I have had a positive experience with The Motherhood Center. I have diagnosed Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder, and I regularly see a therapist, as well as a psychiatrist for medication management (both outside of The Motherhood Center). When I was pregnant last year, I decided I would try to taper off my anxiety medication, with my providers' support and supervision. This ended up not being the right move, and resulted in a severe and debilitating period of anxiety. I wanted to meet with someone experienced in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, so I reached out to The Motherhood Center. I had a virtual 90-minute initial evaluation with Alison Workman, NP, which was $250 out-of-pocket (this was Nov. 2021). The evaluation was incredibly thorough and compassionate, and she consulted with a senior psychiatrist (this is their standard practice) before giving me her recommendations. The goal of my visit was to get a second opinion on a way forward for my medication management during pregnancy and to take this back to my regular psychiatrist, but after this initial evaluation, I felt like I would be very comfortable seeing providers again from The Motherhood Center if I ever needed that.Psychiatrist for severe postpartum anxiety
The Motherhood Center is amazing.Psychiatrist for severe postpartum anxiety
Please call the Motherhood Center immediately. They have an excellent staff who specializes in this and can help. If you need a referral your OB or other dr can provide one.Psychiatrist for severe postpartum anxiety
I want to put a plug in for the Motherhood Center. They are in Manhattan, still operating remotely, and don’t accept insurance, so I know they don’t check a lot of your boxes on paper, but I’ve had a phenomenal experience working with their team for severe PPA after my daughter was born last year. I’ve had sessions with one of their psychiatrists and a psychiatric NP and received compassionate and non-judgmental care from both of them. It took a few tries to find the right medication for me but both care providers were focused on getting the right balance as soon as possible. I haven’t met with any of their therapists because I have one I’ve been working with for many years and needed medication management, but they do encourage multifaceted care and have a number on staff. Maybe most importantly, they were super responsive and their front desk staff worked to fit me in quickly when most other psychiatrists I tried calling never answered or weren’t accepting new patients. They also have a billing department that submits out of network claims to insurance for you, which can be a huge huge help depending on what kind of coverage your plan has after you hit your deductible. For better or worse I hit that deductible number pretty quickly…Therapist for PPD, other issues
I have been seeing a therapist at the Motherhood Center and highly recommend it.Therapist for PPD, other issues
The Motherhood Center of New York literally saved my life. I did their day program for 7 weeks in the Fall, and outside that have been working for 9 months through all the issues you listed with Dr. Stephanie Simon (a Motherhood Center therapist who also takes patients outside the Center). I cannot recommend her more highly. Dr. Simon can also do amazing family and couples therapy as part of your treatment if that helps you: https://www.drstephaniesimon.com. She’s done sessions with both my husband and sons in on the appointment several times. One advantage of going through The Motherhood Center is that their psychologists work really well as a team with their psychiatrists - who are world class, well on top of latest research about holistic medical interventions and medication management to address PMADs. I appreciated how my care team addressed my and the kids’ sleep issues and checked for vitamin deficiencies before trying medications. They have always given me a choice of treatment combinations.Psychiatrist knowledgeable about medication for breastfeeding parent
I highly recommend the Motherhood Center for this. I saw them for my first pregnancy and am seeing them again now after having just delivered my second. They are AMAZING and this is what they do. I was also breastfeeding. They don't take my insurance but it is completely worth it.Psychiatrist knowledgeable about medication for breastfeeding parent
I also recommend The Motherhood Center. I see Dr. Albertini. From the other poster- I have only been out patient and have been going for several years- after my first child during breastfeeding and through pregnancy and birth of my second. The visits are expensive but their finance department is amazing- they will submit claims for you for reimbursement and help for HSA/ FSA. They also will work on sliding scale as needed.Working moms therapist recommendation
I highly recommend calling or emailing the Motherhood Center (212-335-0034 or info@themotherhoodcenter.com). I was really struggling postpartum and was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and depression. I already had a therapist, but he just wasn't cutting it when it came to the kinds of specific issues that come up for me as a new mom. I found the staff and provider I dealt with at the Motherhood Center to be so warm and compassionate. They ended up being out of network for me, but they handled all the paperwork to try to get me some reimbursement for my treatment.Need therapist for Postpartum anxiety
