EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!
We’re Now PSI PMH-C Certified — What That Means for You
We’re proud to share some exciting news with our clients, colleagues, and community:
We are now officially certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International (PSI).
This certification is more than just a title — it’s a meaningful step that reflects our deep commitment to providing the highest quality care to individuals and families navigating the unique mental health challenges of the perinatal period.
What Is PMH-C Certification?
The Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) is a nationally recognized credential awarded by Postpartum Support International (PSI) — the leading organization dedicated to perinatal mental health education, advocacy, and support.
To earn the PMH-C, a clinician must:
-Complete specialized training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), reproductive trauma, and related conditions.
-Demonstrate clinical experience working with perinatal populations.
-Pass a comprehensive exam covering evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
In short, this certification signals a high level of expertise in helping individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, fertility journeys, and loss.
Why This Matters
Perinatal mental health is a specialized field — and one that requires more than general training in counseling or psychology. Pregnancy and postpartum bring complex hormonal, emotional, and identity shifts. Miscarriage, infertility, birth trauma, and postpartum anxiety or depression can be deeply isolating without the right support.
By choosing a PMH-C certified provider, you can feel confident that your clinician:
-Understands the unique nuances of perinatal mental health
-Uses current, evidence-based approaches tailored to your stage and situation
-Is committed to trauma-informed, compassionate care
-Has met rigorous standards set by the most trusted organization in this field
