Online Therapy for Mothers and their partners during Pregnancy and Postpartum
Parenting today seems harder than ever before, with mixed messaging about what is best for your baby and many parents waiting for the “village” that has yet to arrive.
Our team of Psychologists and Registered Psychotherapists can help you thrive during this major life transition.
Psychological Assessment
Our intake and assessment process includes a thorough review of your history and presenting concerns, with time spent formulating a treatment plan that directly targets your goals.
Dr. Sarah Haller (Clinical Psychologist) provides assessment and diagnosis of mental illness occurring during pregnancy and postpartum (i.e., the perinatal period), while Brittney (Registered Psychotherapist) will screen for symptoms of distress and provide psychotherapy supporting you in symptom reduction. The assessment process can take anywhere from one to two initial appointments, each 50-minutes in length.
A note on childcare: We recognize that it can be difficult to access childcare. Babies are welcome during appointments, and our online-only therapy means that you don’t have to leave the house to get the help you need.

Psychological Treatment
Our goal is to help you feel better as quickly as possible so that you can enjoy this time with your baby.
We accomplish this through the use of evidence-based treatment that has been found to be effective at reducing psychological symptoms during the pregnancy and postpartum.
Brittney Mandryk (Registered Psychotherapist) and Dr. Sarah Haller (Clinical Psychologist) provide psychological treatment to women and/or their partners during pregnancy and postpartum.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based structured, short-term treatment that targets acute symptoms of distress in the perinatal population.
Clients attend weekly sessions to bring about remission of acute symptoms (approximately 4 to 7 sessions), followed by spaced apart maintenance sessions to ensure continued improvement.
The goals of IPT include reducing symptoms of distress, increasing social support, and improving communication skills.
Dr. Haller is certified in Level A: IPT with the Interpersonal Psychotherapy Institute specifically with the perinatal population, and is a certified provider with Postpartum Support International (PSI).
Brittney has specialized training from the Postpartum Stress Center under the renowned Karen Kleiman for the treatment of perinatal distress and postpartum depression.
