Perinatal Mental Health Counseling in Houston, TX

Compassionate Care for Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and Birth Trauma

Welcoming a new baby can be both beautiful and overwhelming. For many parents, the postpartum season brings a mix of love, fatigue, identity shifts, and emotional ups and downs. If you’ve noticed persistent sadness, anxiety, or guilt — or if your birth experience left you shaken — you’re not alone.

At the Center for Postpartum & Family Health (CPFH) in Houston, TX, we specialize in helping new parents heal from postpartum depression, anxiety, and birth trauma, while strengthening their relationships and self-compassion.

Our clinicians combine deep expertise in perinatal mental health with an approachable, down-to-earth style that helps you feel supported from the very first session.

Our Approach to Perinatal Mental Health

Postpartum depression and anxiety — often called Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) — are the most common complications of childbirth. But with the right care, recovery is possible.

At CPFH–Houston, our team helps you:

  • Understand your symptoms and emotional patterns

  • Learn practical coping skills for anxiety and overwhelm

  • Heal from birth-related trauma or loss

  • Reconnect with your baby and partner

  • Rebuild confidence and balance in your new season of life

We provide therapy that is compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized — tailored to your story, culture, and family system.

It’s specialized therapy for mental health challenges that occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period — including depression, anxiety, and birth trauma.

No. We support mothers, fathers, partners, and caregivers. Everyone’s mental health matters in the postpartum season.
