Perinatal Mental Health

Perinatal Wellbeing

The time from pregnancy, or when trying to become pregnant, until about one to two years postpartum is commonly referred to as the perinatal period. While it is often thought of as a joyous and celebratory period, for many it is also a season of challenge, exhaustion, and heightened emotion. In fact, mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth, affecting 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men.

If you or your loved one can’t shake the feeling that something just doesn’t seem right, know that you are not alone, you are not to blame and that treatment is available to help. Dr. Stillo would be honored to walk with you out of the darkness as you step into the best version of yourself.

Dr. Stillo has extensive experience working with parents who have experienced postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma/postpartum ptsd, infertility, and grief/loss. She is a certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) and has completed specialized training in the practice of EMDR for Perinatal and Infant Mental Health.
