Rachel BenavidezMarriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT (she, her)

About

I am a prenatal and postpartum therapist. Nearly 5 to 7 out of 10 women suffer from a perinatal mood disorder. This may look like feeling "down" during pregnancy - which can be hard in itself because you are doing the exhausting work of growing a little human. It can look like not enjoying motherhood after baby has arrived. Or being anxious about after relating to the baby's safety. If you are struggling with your pregnancy or postpartum life after baby, I am here to support you. If your goal is to connect more connected to yourself and to your baby, together we can work to achieve that sense of relief. I work with perinatal mental health community to support your well-being throughout pregnancy, establish expectations about motherhood and transition to life after baby. I am a mother myself who experienced a perinatal mood disorder which is why I am so passionate. I am LGBTIA+ friendly, non-judgemental, trauma-informed, compassionate therapist.
