Perinatal Psychiatry
Specialized psychiatric care for pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood.
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring some of the most important — and most complicated — mental health decisions a person will face. Questions about medication safety, mood changes, and how to protect both your wellbeing and your baby's deserve more than a rushed appointment.
This practice offers structured, in-depth perinatal psychiatric consultations for individuals who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or navigating the year after childbirth.
Areas of Focus
Depression and anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum
Perinatal OCD and intrusive thoughts
Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders
Medication management before, during, and after pregnancy
Guidance for individuals with a prior psychiatric history who are planning a pregnancy
Support navigating psychiatric care while breastfeeding
Why Work With a Perinatal Psychiatrist
Dr. Frazier holds a certificate of completion in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders from Postpartum Support International (PSI), one of the field's most recognized credentials in maternal mental health. Combined with fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry, this background supports a careful, evidence-based approach to one of psychiatry's most nuanced areas: weighing medication risks and benefits during pregnancy and lactation — because caring for you and caring for your child's development go hand in hand.
What’s Included
