Home Visit Services

At Perinatal Peds Nursing, Inc., we understand that seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, especially for growing families. To make care more accessible and comfortable, we offer home visit psychiatric services—bringing high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based support directly to you.  

Who Can Benefit from Home Visits? 

We believe that mental health care should be accessible, convenient, and tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Our home visit services are ideal for: 

  • Pregnant and Postpartum Parents – Supporting new and expecting parents as they navigate mood changes, anxiety, postpartum depression, or birth-related trauma, all while adjusting to life with a newborn. 

  • Parents of Infants and Young Children – Helping caregivers prioritize their well-being without the added stress of arranging childcare or traveling with little ones. 

  • Children and Adolescents with Anxiety or Special Needs – Creating a comfortable, familiar setting for children who may struggle with office visits due to social anxiety, autism, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities. 

  • Busy Families – Offering flexible care to meet the needs of caregivers balancing work, school, and family obligations. 

  • Patients with Limited Mobility or Transportation Challenges – Ensuring access to high-quality psychiatric care for those unable to travel easily to an office setting. 

Why Choose Home-Based Psychiatric Care? 

  • A Healing, Comfortable Environment: Being at home allows for a more relaxed, open, and meaningful therapeutic experience where patients feel safest. 

  • Individualized, Whole-Person Care: Seeing you in your environment allows us to better understand your daily routines, challenges, and support system, leading to a truly personalized approach. 

  • Family-Centered Support: Home visits allow for parental or caregiver involvement in treatment, fostering stronger communication, collaboration, and shared understanding. 

  • Flexible and Accessible Care: No commuting, no waiting rooms—just focused, attentive care on your schedule. 

  • Empowering Families: By providing support where it is needed most, we help families build sustainable coping strategies and mental wellness routines right in their everyday lives. 

What to Expect During a Home Visit 

  • Initial Psychiatric Evaluation: We will discuss your mental health concerns, goals, and whether sequential home visits are the best fit for your care. 

  • Personalized Care Plan: Each visit is designed around your unique needs, whether it involves medication management, parent coaching, behavioral strategies, or therapy referrals. 

  • Confidential, Professional Care: All visits adhere to HIPAA-compliant privacy and safety standards.
