Common questions
Are intrusive thoughts after birth common?
Yes. Unwanted, upsetting thoughts are a common postpartum experience, and they are very different from intentions. Perinatal clinicians can help, and our guide on postpartum intrusive thoughts explains more.
Is perinatal therapy only for birthing parents?
No. Many perinatal clinicians also support partners, adoptive parents, and people navigating fertility treatment or pregnancy loss.
How does Tandem verify these perinatal mental health therapists?
Before anyone is listed, Tandem confirms an active California license, documented training in their stated specialty, and the state licensing board record. Profiles are reviewed again when anything changes.
Do these clinicians offer telehealth across California?
Most do. Each profile lists session formats, whether in person, telehealth, or both, along with office locations.
