Maternal Mental Health

Compassionate Mental Health Care for Every Stage of Motherhood

From planning a pregnancy through the postpartum year, HealHub provides specialized emotional and psychiatric support for you and your family — coordinated with your OB/GYN every step of the way.

Psychiatric Emergency

Postpartum psychosis is not routine postpartum care

Postpartum psychosis is rare but serious, and can involve confusion, hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, rapid mood swings, or thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. It requires immediate medical attention — it is not something to manage through a scheduled outpatient appointment.

If you or someone you love is experiencing these symptoms right now, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. HealHub can help with screening, early identification, safety planning, and coordinating hospital-level care once immediate safety is established — call us at (425) 250-6500 to arrange follow-up support.

Overview

Support for the full journey, not just one moment

Mental health can shift in real ways while you're trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and in the months after birth. HealHub's maternal mental health program is built specifically around this timeline — separate from our general mental health care — so you're supported by a team that understands the emotional, hormonal, and psychiatric realities specific to this stage of life.

Every plan is coordinated with your OB/GYN, midwife, or primary care provider, so your mental health care and your physical care move together instead of working in isolation.

Who this is for

  • Individuals or couples planning a pregnancy, including those with a history of mental health or substance use concerns
  • Pregnant individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or relationship difficulties
  • New parents navigating postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD symptoms, birth trauma, or bonding concerns
  • Partners and family members who want to understand and support a loved one's maternal mental health
