Lighting the way forward
At Haven Perinatal, we believe that every mom deserves more than just survival—she deserves support, knowledge, and a guiding light through one of the most transformative seasons of life.
Born from a need for change
Maternal mental health care is broken. Too many moms suffer in silence, unsure where to turn, while providers struggle to meet the growing demand for support. Traditional therapy models aren’t designed for the realities of postpartum life, leaving moms without accessible, effective solutions.
At Haven, we saw a different future—one where perinatal mental health care is proactive, science-backed, and deeply supportive. Driven by evidence, we set out to transform the way maternal mental health is delivered, blending education, coaching, and community to create a system that actually works.
Our why
Because no mom should have to navigate perinatal mental health challenges alone.
We believe in a world where every mom feels seen, supported, and equipped to handle the emotional demands of pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood.
By integrating brain science, behavioral health coaching, and innovative digital resources, Haven Perinatal is redefining care—so moms and providers alike have the tools they need to thrive.
THE PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
-
1 in 5 women will experience a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD), but 75% go untreated due to lack of screening, stigma, and inadequate provider training.¹
-
Suicide and overdose are the leading causes of maternal death in the U.S., accounting for more than 23% of maternal deaths in the postpartum period.²
-
The average time to diagnosis for postpartum depression is over six months, leaving countless mothers struggling without support.³
-
OB/GYNs, who see moms the most during pregnancy, receive little to no formal training in perinatal mental health, making early intervention nearly impossible.⁴
