We’re here to help you thrive.
When your family grows, your life may change in unexpected ways.
Along with tremendous joy and wonder, family building, pregnancy and early parenting can be times of deep tenderness and vulnerability.
Many parents and parents-to-be experience challenges along the way.
These may include fear and uncertainty, changing relationships and identities, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, guilt and shame, or struggling to balance conflicting roles and responsibilities. Some parents find themselves so exhausted and overwhelmed that life feels like a struggle just to get by from one day to the next.
No matter who you are and how your process unfolds, you deserve so much more than just getting by.

We believe Perinatal Mental Health Support Should Be:
-
Safe
We know that trust and safety are the foundation of any effective therapeutic relationship. Healing happens best when you know that you are safe. Our providers are committed to creating a safe and trustworthy environment through clear communication, confidentiality, cultural responsiveness, and a consistent willingness to address your questions and concerns.
-
Affirming
You deserve to be celebrated and affirmed in all of who you are! Our therapists are committed to getting to know you, celebrating your unique values and identities, and holding a non-judgemental space for you to show up as your full self-your beauty and strength along with your challenges. We know life can be complicated, confusing and messy sometimes, and we’re here for all of it.
-
Accessible
Everyone deserves access to high-quality, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive perinatal care. Great Lakes Perinatal Wellness is committed to expanding access through low and no-cost offerings, accepting a wide range of insurance plans (including Medicaid), and creating sustainable employment, training, and professional development opportunities for perinatal wellness professionals who are committed to reproductive justice and community care.
-
Inspiring
Family building, pregnancy, and parenting are times of tremendous change and new beginnings. This can be a great time for self-discovery, learning new ways of being, exploring your values, and charting a course for the future. Even when pain, struggle, and suffering are part of the picture, we hope that with good support you can also experience joy, wonder, and celebration during this time in your life.
