Welcome

At Perinatal Peds Nursing, Inc. we specialize in compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and individuals in the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum). Our practice is a fee-for-service, cash-pay model, which allows us to provide personalized care without restrictions from insurance companies. 

Who Would Be a Good Candidate for Our Services? 

You or your child may benefit from our care if you are experiencing: 

For Children and Adolescents: 

  • Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, separation anxiety) 

  • Depression and mood disorders (low mood, irritability, difficulty enjoying activities) 

  • ADHD and executive functioning challenges (difficulty focusing, impulsivity, hyperactivity) 

  • Behavioral and emotional regulation issues (difficulty managing anger, aggression, or emotional outbursts) 

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors) 

  • Sleep difficulties (trouble falling or staying asleep, nightmares) 

  • School-related challenges (academic struggles, school refusal, social difficulties) 

  • Trauma and PTSD (exposure to traumatic events, difficulty processing emotions) 

  • Autism-related mental health support (anxiety, mood difficulties, social stressors) 

For Perinatal and Postpartum Individuals: 

  • Perinatal anxiety and depression (pregnancy-related mood changes, excessive worry) 

  • Postpartum depression and anxiety (difficulty bonding with baby, intrusive thoughts) 

  • Birth trauma and PTSD (emotional distress related to childbirth experiences) 

  • Pregnancy loss and fertility-related grief (miscarriage, stillbirth, fertility challenges) 

  • Medication management for psychiatric conditions during pregnancy and breastfeeding 

  • Adjustment difficulties (transition to parenthood, relationship changes, role shifts) 

Who May Not Be the Best Fit? 

While we strive to provide comprehensive care, our practice may not be the right fit if: 

  • You are only seeking therapy  

  • You require intensive crisis services or immediate inpatient care 

  • You need insurance-based care, as we do not bill insurance directly 

  • You require court-mandated evaluations or forensic psychiatric services 

  • You need substance use disorder treatment beyond mild co-occurring concerns 

  • You are seeking emergency or 24/7 crisis intervention (we are not an emergency facility)
