At New Dawn, we understand that pregnancy and the postpartum period bring profound changes – physically, emotionally, and socially.
For many, this is a joyful season, but it can also be incredibly overwhelming. Depression, anxiety, and trauma can surface or intensify during this time, leaving new and expecting parents feeling isolated and uncertain.
Our Perinatal & Postpartum Outpatient Program was created to meet these needs with compassion, evidence-based care, and flexibility. Designed for women and birthing parents during pregnancy and after delivery, this program helps clients navigate perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), postpartum depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges.
Why Specialized Perinatal & Postpartum Treatment Matters
Perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns are more common than many people realize, yet they’re often minimized or misunderstood. New parents may feel pressure to “push through” or blame themselves for struggling, while stigma keeps many from reaching out for help. The reality is that seeking support is not a weakness. It’s one of the strongest choices you can make for yourself and your family.
Left untreated, depression, anxiety, and trauma during this period can affect not only your own well-being, but also your baby’s development, your relationships, and your family’s stability. By addressing these challenges early in a safe, supportive environment, parents can begin to heal, rediscover their strength, and build deeper connections with both themselves and their children. At New Dawn, we believe you deserve that chance – for you, and for the little one who depends on you.
Perinatal Care: Support During Pregnancy
Mental health challenges don’t wait until after delivery. Many clients experience anxiety, depression, or trauma symptoms while pregnant, sometimes made worse by medical complications, previous pregnancy loss, or difficult life circumstances.
Our program provides a safe space to process fears, stressors, and personal histories that may shape the pregnancy experience.
Safe, trauma-informed therapy to process fears, past trauma, or anxieties about childbirth.
Mind-body support through yoga, mindfulness, and stress reduction to promote well-being for both parent and baby.
Alongside therapy and holistic supports, we provide education and planning tools to help parents prepare for the postpartum transition. Coordination with OB/GYNs ensures treatment is integrated and responsive to physical health needs, so clients never feel like they’re navigating pregnancy alone.
Postpartum Care: Healing After Birth
After childbirth, many parents face challenges that are rarely discussed openly. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and trauma from birth experiences can create added stress during a season that already feels overwhelming.
Our outpatient model makes treatment truly accessible, allowing clients to continue caring for their families while receiving the support they need.
Flexible scheduling with infant-friendly options – babies up to 6 months can attend sessions.
Holistic recovery supports like yoga, mindfulness, and pelvic floor healing.
In this safe, supportive environment, parents gain tools to regulate emotions, rebuild confidence, and strengthen connections with their infants and families.
With group therapy and peer support reducing isolation, healing becomes less about “getting through it” and more about finding balance and rediscovering joy.
A Trauma-Informed, Family-Centered Approach
Every aspect of our program is grounded in trauma-informed care. We know that perinatal mental health is deeply shaped by past experiences, medical interactions, and cultural contexts. That’s why our team works to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported without stigma.
Healing also extends beyond the individual. At New Dawn, we encourage family and partner involvement, offering therapy and support groups that strengthen the relationships surrounding the parent. By engaging loved ones and peers in the process, clients leave with stronger networks of support that continue long after treatment ends.
