Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional

 

I (Libby Marler) specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and have attended multiple trainings and completed a national recognized testing program through Postpartum Support International (PSI) to achieve additional licensing as a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C).  

"Parenting can be one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs you will have and I work to ensure parents learn to prioritize their own self-care and wellbeing in order to be present in quality moments with their families."

As a mother of four, I fully appreciate the spectrum of emotions that come with motherhood. From grieving a loss of your "past self", mom guilt, finding a "work-life" flow, making decisions to stay at home, navigating the pressures of social media, and managing the "mental load" to being overwhelmed with love for these little humans...parenting in this modern world is often overwhelming. I am here to help!

From the start of perinatal counseling, I offer a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment plan. We will get to know each other and become comfortable while filling your tool-box with coping skills based on evidenced-based therapy as our professional relationship continues. I often partner with healthcare providers and reproductive psychiatrists when symptoms are severe enough to impair normal functioning and warrant medication management. Together, we will weigh risks and benefits of options and decide what is in your best interest for how to find wellness in your life for you and your family.
