Transforming Maternal Mental Health at Women's Health Innovations of Arizona

Women's Health Innovations of Arizona was born from the passion of healthcare professionals who recognized a critical gap in mental health care for women, especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. While the focus was often on the baby’s health, many women felt lost and unsupported. WHI of Arizona was created to fill this void and provide compassionate, accessible maternal mental health services.

Today, our devoted team of specialized professionals is committed to changing the conversation around Perinatal Mood Disorders. We invite you to learn more about our heartfelt mission. Our caring therapists, support coaches, and trained mentors are here to offer the understanding and support you need. Please reach out to us anytime, and we will connect you with the resources that can make a difference in your life.

A NOTE FROM OUR
PREVIOUS CLIENT

The Gift of Mental Health Support.

"If I could, I would give every woman the gift of support around mental health. I think a lot of women feel shame around seeking help for postpartum depression and anxiety - I definitely did. I started with their group meetings and then used one on one therapy. I learned that postpartum depression and anxiety are much more common than I even realized. I was able to find an actual community of ladies that were all in my same boat. I feel so much less alone. I also feel really hopeful. This was the most impactful thing I gained from this company - HOPE. I’m a better spouse, mother, daughter, and friend because I’m making progress in finding joy in the day to day - when I wasn’t able to see it before."

Life-Changing Testimonies • "Maria quite literally saved my life." •

A NOTE FROM OUR
PREVIOUS CLIENT

Get Life-Changing Mental Health Support

"Maria Ward quite literally saved my life. I have been a patient of Maria's since April 2020. I was referred to Women's Health Innovations by a fellow fertility warrior who had also experienced loss herself. I was being seen due to the traumatic loss of my IVF twin babies in March. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Maria. I felt welcomed, and most importantly, I felt as though she had my best interest in mind. The first time we met, she knew I needed help and immediately sprung into action - it was the first time any person has been there to get me the immediate help I needed. I left our session that day being able to take a deep breath and knew that she is going to help me save myself."
