Are medications safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Some are, and the right choice depends on your situation. We discuss the benefits and risks openly so you can make an informed decision, and we coordinate with your OB when needed.

Can I be seen entirely by telehealth?

Yes. Many parents manage their care fully by secure video, with in-person visits in Frederick available whenever you prefer.

Maternal Mental Health

Pregnancy and the months after birth are some of the most demanding seasons of life, and struggling does not make you a bad parent. We provide compassionate psychiatric care for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) and postpartum depression (PPD), with medication management when it's appropriate and safe. We help you feel like yourself again while honoring the realities of pregnancy, feeding, and caring for a newborn, and we coordinate with your OB, primary care, or therapist as needed. Telehealth makes care possible even on the hardest days.
