Perinatal
Mental Health Support
for Parents
Every parent and baby are a linked system.
When you take care of yourself,
you're taking care of your baby at the same time.
Welcome!
We're so happy you are here.
We are Amy (Mental Health Coach/Doula) &
Erin (Therapist) - the duo that created Life With Baby.
We are here to support you through the emotional challenges of fertility, pregnancy, adoption, surrogacy, postpartum, and adapting to your life with a baby.
We are parents.
We experienced postpartum depression and anxiety first-hand.
We are here to help you feel better.
Our approach in working with parents is based on evidence-based care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools, empathy and compassion. You deserve to be supported as much as you support your baby.

Why is a Perinatal Mental Health So Important?
Preparation
1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression, and it's the #1 complication from childbirth. It's treatable, and parents do not have to suffer!
Resources
Some parents have never experienced significant changes in mood and may feel blindsided should symptoms appear during pregnancy and postpartum.
Connection
Talking openly about the reality of common emotions during the various paths of parenthood helps fight the stigma associated with mental health. This is critical for saving and improving lives.
Support
Becoming a parent is one of the most significant life transitions. Finding community and resources decreases loneliness and isolation.
