We offer specialized treatment and support for maternal mental health disorders.

​
At WHI of Arizona, we treat women and families as a team. Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are never an isolated problem to be dealt with as an individual. We believe in a collaborative approach involving the entire family. Our treatment may include couples counseling, support groups, psychiatry, healthy family home visits, and more.

Lifespan of Parenthood

​We understand the process of becoming a parent and moving through the many transitions of parenthood can be full of joy,  but also stress and struggle.

Many families are dealing with infertility, loss around parenthood, special needs, medical needs, school transitions to empty nesters. We are here to walk alongside you as you navigate these transitions and all that comes with them.

Trauma

Defining a traumatic event is in the eye of the beholder.  Trauma is a distressing or disturbing event.  Many things can be considered traumatic - a diagnosis, bereavement, abuse, a natural disaster, an accident.  We understand and respect the individual's experiences and need to move through them in their way.  Our team has specialized training in assessing and treating trauma so you can be the best you can be.

Substance Use & Parenting

Parental substance use can affect prenatal development, as well as early childhood and adolescent development. The parent may have difficulty in assuming a parental role. Our professionals have experience in counseling families going through these obstacles and focus on building resiliency within the family while demonstrating effective coping skills for each individual.
