Mental Wellbeing
Initial Assessment
Approximately 15 to 20 percent of all women experience some form of pregnancy-related depression or anxiety. If this happens to you, it is important to know you are not alone and Premier Birth Center is here to help. Through our secure and convenient telehealth platform, our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner can conduct mental health screenings and spend time getting to know your personal history and goals for achieving optimal mental and emotional wellbeing. We also offer preconception counseling for individuals who are currently taking psychiatric medications and want to know about the safety of medications during pregnancy. Together, we will develop a care plan that works for you.

Medication Follow-Up
If your Mental Wellbeing Assessment leads our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner to prescribe medication to calm your distress, we will conduct follow-up appointments to make sure your medication is working and that you are feeling better. We may decide to adjust your medication and/or discuss if you would benefit from additional support services.

Counseling/Therapy
Many women benefit from longer therapy sessions and ongoing care to support their mental health and emotional wellbeing. We offer therapy and will work with you to develop customized, effective coping strategies.
