Perinatal and Postpartum Care in South Jersey

Supporting Your Mental Health During Pregnancy and Beyond.

Pregnancy and early motherhood can bring excitement and connection, but they can also bring anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationship changes, identity shifts, intrusive thoughts, depression, and emotions that may be difficult to talk about.

The perinatal period, which includes both pregnancy and the postpartum period, is a time of profound change and adjustment. While these transitions can bring joy and fulfillment, they can also lead to significant emotional and psychological challenges.

Mindfully Active provides therapy in South Jersey for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy loss, birth experiences, adjustment to motherhood, parenting stress, and perinatal anxiety and depression.

Kelli and Amber provide perinatal and postpartum support. Both have been trained through Postpartum Support International (PSI).
