Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders Support Group

A startling 80% of new mothers experience the "baby blues" characterized by fluctuating moods and crying episodes resolving within 2 weeks. 

A reported 20% will experience a more profound depression and anxiety which may interfere with daily functioning. 

Peer support has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression by creating a non-judgmental, confidential atmosphere for women to share common questions, concerns and difficulties. 

My peer support group is modeled after the Postpartum Resource Center of NY,  "Circle of Light" (www.postpartumny.org). We provide answers and guidance to mood & anxiety changes that occur during and after pregnancy. 

 ****You do not have to be a patient of the practice to join our group! All moms & babies are welcome!! Groups runs for 6 consecutive weeks for a weekly $10.00 fee. We believe that moms need moms! Together we can navigate through motherhood!!
