What does PMH-C mean?

It stands for Perinatal Mental Health Certified. A credential through that reflects advanced training in perinatal mental health and its treatment.

The perinatal period includes family planning, conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and new parenthood. It is a season that is tender, complex, and deeply transformative.

To earn this certification, clinicians complete advanced coursework, have at least two years of clinical experience with this population, pass a certification exam, and commit to ongoing continuing education. It reflects both specialized training and a continued dedication to serving parents and families.

As PMH-C clinicians, we are trained to understand how this developmental period affects the whole person, including your body, hormones, sleep, mental health, relationships, contexts, and identity. We look at the full picture, not just isolated symptoms.

You deserve support from someone specifically trained for this chapter. 🤍

🌿 Class Spotlight: Postpartum Mental Health — You Are Not Alone

Tomorrow at Mama University, we are honored to welcome Hannah Mersereau, LPC-MHSP, PMH-C, a licensed professional counselor specializing in maternal mental health.

Motherhood is beautiful — and it can also be overwhelming, emotional, and heavy. Many moms experience baby blues, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or deep feelings of mom guilt. Yet too often, these struggles are faced silently.

At Mama University, we believe education and community are powerful tools for healing. That’s why this session is so important.

💛 What We’ll Cover:
✨The difference between Baby Blues and Postpartum Depression
✨Signs and symptoms of Postpartum Anxiety
✨Understanding and navigating Mom Guilt
✨When to seek professional help
✨Practical tools for emotional regulation and daily coping
✨How partners and community can support new moms

Hannah will provide expert insight in a safe, compassionate environment where moms can ask questions openly and without judgment.

🌸 Why This Matters

Postpartum mental health challenges are common — but they are not a sign of weakness. They are not a failure of faith. And they are certainly not something you have to walk through alone.

At Mama University, our mission is to create a nurturing and empowering environment for new mothers, rooted in education, expert guidance, and meaningful connection . This session reflects our commitment to supporting the whole mother — body, mind, and heart.

My commitment to this work is deeply personal.

I welcomed my first child during the COVID 19 pandemic while my military family was stationed overseas. Even as a mental health professional, I felt unprepared for the emotional impact and isolation of new parenthood. That season transformed me. And it lit a fire within me: no new parent should have to traverse this season alone or without meaningful support.

Determined to offer more specialized care, I pursued training and certification in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. I began intentionally focusing my clinical work on supporting folks through life transitions, with particular care for new and expectant parents.

Becoming Therapy Center was born from the belief that healing happens in connection. My practice extends beyond individual therapy to include couples counseling, support groups, workshops, and community partnerships that strengthen families beyond the therapy room.

When we support parents, we strengthen relationships, nurture children, and build healthier communities.

You deserve care in this season.
You are not alone.
You are not broken.
You are becoming. 🤍

You are not alone. Support is available. 🤍

✨ Now Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) ✨

Today, I passed my Perinatal Mental Health Certification exam! This was the final step in becoming a PMH-C through Postpartum Support International.

This designation reflects not only my training and experience in perinatal mental health, but also my ongoing commitment to continued learning, strong standards of care, and improving access for folks navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

When I finished my exam at the Fort Campbell testing facility, the proctor shared that she had never seen anyone take this exam before. I was struck by her comment, as it reflects the ongoing need for perinatal mental health providers in Clarksville, Fort Campbell, and the surrounding communities.

I’m proud of this step, and even more committed to this work and the people it serves. I’m also grateful to the National Military Family Association for their scholarship support toward the cost of the exam.

✨ Now offering EMDR Therapy ✨

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences.

Using guided eye movements and other bilateral stimulation techniques, EMDR is associated with reductions in the vividness and emotional intensity of painful memories.

It may be especially helpful for those navigating symptoms of trauma, anxiety, or past emotional pain—fostering recovery, resilience, and a renewed sense of calm. 💛
