We can help… 

Dr. Alyssa Berlin, PsyD specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of postpartum disorders such as anxiety and depression. The goal of our counseling program is to address a couple’s special needs as they navigate their way through pregnancy, labor and delivery and ultimately to parenthood. Counseling is often the preferred method of treatment, because of concerns related to taking antidepressant medication while breastfeeding. Research demonstrated that with counseling, about 80% of women with postpartum depression recover completely within one year.

We offer several Birth Counseling options:

 • One-on-One Therapy – In a private and nurturing setting, explore personal issues that may impede enjoyment of pregnancy, bonding with baby, preparation for child birth or your postpartum experience.

 • Couples Counseling – Tools and techniques are learned, helping to optimize your partner-to-partner connection and maximize effective co-parenting.

• Bringing Baby Home – a workshop for expectant couples and new parents given monthly by Dr. Berlin based on the research of world renowned couples psychology experts Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This fun and interactive workshop is a marriage saving relationship builder. It gives you the tools and guidance to bring your love, affection and communication to the next level, so that when the baby comes you will cope successfully with the normal stressors of the transition to parenthood.
