  • A Perinatal Behavioral Health Coach is a professional that supports parents through emotional challenges in pregnancy and postpartum.

    Our Perinatal Behavioral Health Coaches offering virtual mental health coaching specialize in perinatal mental health and have extensive experience supporting parents through emotional challenges including overwhelm, PTSD, loss, birth trauma, NICU stays, adjustment to parenthood, relationships, identify struggles, guilt, shame, and the transition back to work.

  • Our Perinatal Behavioral Heath Coaches provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process emotions, and cognitive behavioral coaching that includes education, coping skills, mindfulness, and goal oriented support.

    A coach treats each parent as an individual, and together they create an actionable plan to reduce symptoms of distress. A coach provides support at any time during pregnancy through 1 year postpartum.

  • A coach focuses on current issues, and how to move forward to feel better. They do not diagnose or provide any medical advice. FamilyWell coaches are trained in cognitive behavioral coaching techniques to get you feeling better quickly.

    A therapist focuses on unpacking your past experiences, relationships and challenges to help put the pieces together to navigate your current situation. Therapists can diagnose.

  • Yes! All mental health coaching sessions are done virtually via our secure tele-health platform to make it as easy, accessible and convenient for you to receive support.

  • Your credit card information is needed when requesting or scheduling an appointment to hold your appointment time. You are NOT charged until your session is complete. This makes the process super easy, and allows you to focus your entire session on your needs. If you purchased a bundle, you will be charged after the first session for the number of sessions included in the bundle.

    Please note, if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, notification must be received 24 hours before your scheduled appointment to avoid being charged in full for your session.

  • Schedule a FREE 20 minute consult to learn about coaching and ensure it's a good fit. Then select a coaching package that meets your needs (support options include 1 virtual session, 3 session bundle, or 6 session bundle).
