Personal Attention & Care
We’ll talk to you about what you are feeling, and what you have been going through, and together we’ll figure out what kinds of support and resources you need to start feeling better. We’ll also help you figure out how to overcome any barriers that may prevent you from getting the care you need, like insurance, time constraints, childcare, and transportation.
Referrals
Based on your personal needs and comfort level, we will provide you with referrals for one or more of the following options for support, screening, diagnosis, and treatment:
- Support Groups
Referrals to groups near you or online - Psychotherapy
Referrals to specialized counseling services
If it is determined that medications are an appropriate course of action for your treatment, your provider will assist you with that.
Is pre- or postpartum support for you?
