Frequently Asked Questions
How many people are in your support circles?
Each support circle has a maximum of 8 members plus a leader who is a Masters-level, Life After Birth® trained Perinatal Psychotherapist.
Are your groups in-person?
Currently we offer our groups virtually; however, if you have a group of people who want to meet in-person, then can it be arranged—just contact us.
How long do your groups last?
They are ongoing for however long you need the support—from pregnancy through parenthood. We request that you make a three-month commitment in order to preserve the intimacy of the group, so that it has more of a more closed feel to it. In-person groups are paid for three-months upfront. Whereas our online groups are a month-to-month financial commitment.
Are the groups just for first-time moms?
Parents re-entering these phases are welcome (e.g. second- or third-time moms).
Is it just women struggling with Postpartum Depression?
These circles are for any person who is in the throes of Matrescence (the psychological birth of a mother, similar to adolescence, involving hormonal and identity shifting). A person could also benefit from this offering if they are experiencing a Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorder (PMAD), however, it is not a psychotherapy group designed to specifically treat a mental health issue such as Postpartum Depression.
Do you have groups for pregnant people?
We are now enrolling for our first Before Birth Support Circle—all phases of pregnant folks welcome.
What about those of us trying to conceive?
We are working on forming a Secondary Infertility group. Contact us for more info.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Once you have made a purchase, you have 24-hours to receive a reimbursement. After that, you can receive a credit with us. If you have a monthly membership, then your card will automatically be charged every month unless you cancel your membership; however, we ask that you give us at least two weeks notice before you cancel so that we have time to fill the spot.
Have another question, need clarification or just want to connect with a human? You can book a 20 min. complimentary consultation with one of our therapists, Rebecca Stevens, AMFT or Lexi Berard, AMFT.
