We Can Help
The journey into parenthood can be one of life’s most transformative experiences — and also one of the most emotionally challenging. At Vista Mental Health, we provide compassionate, specialized care for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties during pregnancy and after delivery.
Conditions We Treat
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are among the most common complications of childbirth, yet they are highly treatable. We provide evaluation and care for:
• Postpartum Depression — persistent sadness, hopelessness, tearfulness, or emotional numbness following delivery
• Postpartum Anxiety — excessive worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or panic that interferes with daily life
• Postpartum OCD — intrusive, unwanted thoughts (often about the baby’s safety) paired with compulsive behaviors or avoidance
• General Perinatal Mood Disorders — emotional difficulties arising at any point during pregnancy or the postpartum period
What We Offer
Diagnosis & Assessment — We conduct thorough evaluations to understand your symptoms, history, and circumstances so that your care is thoughtful and individualized.
Medication Management — When appropriate, we prescribe and monitor medications that are carefully considered for safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including FDA-approved antidepressants and other evidence-based options that have established safety profiles for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Therapy — We offer therapy to help you process your experience, develop coping strategies, and regain a sense of stability and confidence in yourself and your role as a parent.
Biofeedback — For those seeking non-medication or complementary approaches, we offer biofeedback — a technique that helps you learn to regulate your body’s stress response by providing real-time feedback on physiological signals such as heart rate and muscle tension. Biofeedback can be particularly effective for anxiety and stress-related symptoms during the perinatal period.
