Silver Therapy Group
Treating PMADs with Therapy
At Silver Therapy Group we provide support throughout the full spectrum of the journey to parenthood- from pre-conception planning, to pregnancy, postpartum and the adjustment to parenthood. This season of life can be exciting, awe-inspiring—and incredibly difficult, overwhelming, and intense at times. At Silver Therapy Group, we offer therapy for PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) in New York City, supporting both birthing parents and partners as they navigate the transition to parenthood with care, clarity, and compassion.
PMADs include postpartum depression, perinatal anxiety, perinatal OCD, birth-related trauma, and other mood challenges that can arise during or after pregnancy. These conditions are more common than many people realize—yet stigma, shame, and cultural pressure often prevent parents from speaking openly about their experience. Whether you’re struggling with panic, sadness, irritability, guilt, or simply feeling unlike yourself, our therapists create a safe space where your emotions are valid and your healing is prioritized. We utilize active, evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide you with skills to navigate the emotional overwhelm of the journey to parenthood.
Your journey may include navigating fertility challenges, experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, feeling ambivalent about parenthood, or struggling with identity shifts and changing relationships. The postpartum period especially can include sleep deprivation, emotional swings, pressure to bond perfectly with your baby, or grief over a birth that didn’t go as planned. We meet you wherever you are—whether it’s your first child or your third, whether your support system feels strong or non-existent—and help you develop a toolbox of skills that will increase your sense of self-trust, resilience, and ability to regulate your emotions.
We also honor the needs of partners and non-birthing parents, who often undergo quiet but profound changes during this time. Everyone deserves care, not just the person who gave birth.
The path to parenthood is rarely as tidy as we imagined. Therapy offers a place to make sense of it, gently and honestly.
At Silver Therapy Group, we provide therapy for perinatal mental health with an understanding that there is no “right” way to become a parent—and that caring for your own mental health is an essential act of care for your family. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward support during this meaningful, messy, and transformative chapter.
