Perinatal Mental Health, Postpartum Depression & Anxiety w/Dr. Nina Nguy, PsyD, PMH-C

Most people talk about how wonderful it is to be pregnant and to bring life into this world.

Dr. Nina Nguy PsyD, PMH-C Clinical Psychologist in Orange County provides perinatal and postpartum care to families.

The pregnancy “glow”, the deep connection you feel with the life growing in your belly, snuggling with a squishy baby, and the matching outfits.  You’ve spent hours thinking of all the things you’d do differently – curating the best life for this child with all your hopes and dreams. 

Perhaps you’re conflicted about this new member of your family because of past traumas, strained relationships with your parents, or doubts about whether you’d be good enough.

You rarely hear about the dark side of this season in life. 

The conflicted feelings, infertility struggles, miscarriages, traumatic births, infant losses, and mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and after birth (postpartum depression & postpartum anxiety).  So many things could go wrong. All these experiences are life-changing, isolating, and in some severe cases life-threatening.  This is the most critical and vulnerable time of life for you and your baby. 

You need a postpartum depression Psychologist who is well-trained to understand the unique needs and risks of this time, and can provide effective treatment so you can enjoy your new role.
