Our Services

We are proud to support the perinatal mental health population with a variety of services.

Perinatal & Postpartum Coaching and Support

One-on-one coaching by a trained professional is available to individuals who are seeking support in the preparation and adjustment to pregnancy and/or after they have returned home with their new baby. Our coaches are dedicated to ensuring participants have the tools and resources to navigate their world with as much ease as possible. This support is provided as modality to support individuals who are not at a clinical need for mental health treatment but want to equip themselves with the tools and skills to proactively prevent stress and anxieties in their life. Coaching is available for a fee based on provider. Each provider is matched based on availability and need.

*Coaching is not a replacement or mental health treatment and our coaches reserve the right to refer inquiries to appropriate level of care if their needs are above the level of appropriateness for coaching support.

Support Groups

Our support groups are a virtual space that cultivate a sense of belonging and community. We recognize that in each participants’ journey, there is a need to connect with other parents, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources.

Whether you are going through stress, adjustment to parenting, baby blues, or pregnancy/ postpartum anxiety or depression, our groups are here for you. Each group is facilitated by a Seedling Clinician with a commitment to provide a safe and intentional space. If you are interested in participating in this free support group, please contact us.

Peer-to-Peer Support

Peer-to-peer support is a unique opportunity to work individually with a person who shares a lived experience with you at no cost. Our Peer Mentors have recovered from their own maternal/ paternal mental health journey and are dedicated to work with you through yours. Peer-to-Peer support is a great option for parents struggling with perinatal mental health challenges and find themselves in need of support with a trained volunteer.

Establishing a one-to-one connection with someone who has journeyed through a similar experience offers invaluable insight, encouragement, and hope. Peers and mentors build strong relationships that remove isolation, provides education, and breaks down stigma through weekly communication while in the program. Each peer and mentor are thoughtfully connected by our clinical team. To ensure a safe and successful experience, we consider perinatal experiences, family context, and personal demographics in the matching process. If you are interested in participating as a Peer or Mentor, please contact us.

Matresence

The process of becoming a mother — kind of like how adolescence is the transition to adulthood — is a whole physical, emotional, and social shift. It’s not just a one-and-done moment; it’s an ongoing transformation that can span months or even years as you adapt to your new identity in motherhood. Hormonal fluctuations, changes in family roles, and adjusting to the constant demands of caring for a newborn all contribute to the unique ups and downs of matrescence.

Many mothers experience a wide range of emotions during this time, from pure joy and awe to stress, anxiety, or even feelings of loss — especially as personal freedoms and routines shift dramatically. Therapy, counseling, and support groups offer a safe space for new mothers to process these feelings, learn coping strategies, and develop a sense of agency in their new role.

Mama & Baby Meet Ups

Socialization and connection are key to success when it comes to parenthood; it takes a village, right? Our meet ups are a great opportunity to connect with other birthing persons and cultivate a sense of community as you navigate parenting. Our meet ups are dedicated to birthing or pregnant individuals to come together in a shared space and connect.

Each meet up will have resources and professionals available to support and answer any questions or concerns that come up. Most importantly, we just want to spend time as a group to cheer each other on. Please see our upcoming events here.
