Lauren Pasqua | Center for Postpartum Family Health
Bio: My clinical work centers on supporting mothers, partners, and families during the perinatal period. I help parents navigate postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, shifting roles, and the mental load of caring for a new baby. Together, we work toward building connection, confidence, and emotional wellbeing for the whole family.
Our perinatal team specializes in supporting mothers and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. We offer an ongoing postpartum therapy group where moms can connect, share openly, and build skills for coping with the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that come with this season of life. In addition to group therapy, our team includes advanced graduate students who are available to see individual clients at a reduced fee. I am also completing my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) this month, reflecting our commitment to specialized, evidence-based care for parents and families.
