Therapy Services

Pregnancy can bring overwhelming emotions—but you don’t have to face them alone. At Ohana Beginnings, we connect women to therapy and mental health services during pregnancy and after birth, giving you a safe place to talk, heal, and find strength.

Every mom deserves to feel heard and cared for emotionally.

How We Help

We provide referrals and support for women and families who need help with emotional or mental health struggles. Services include:

• Referrals to trusted mental health professionals in your community for one-on-one or group therapy sessions.
• Regular mental health check-ins during pregnancy and after birth.
• Postpartum support, including screenings and referrals for postpartum depression.
• Ongoing check-ins by a mentor or licensed counselor.

Postpartum Depression & Support

Having a baby is a huge change, and it’s normal to feel tired, emotional, or overwhelmed. But if those feelings grow stronger or don’t go away, you may be facing more than the “baby blues.” Postpartum depression is common, and it does not mean you’re a bad mom.

You are not alone. 1 in 7 moms experience postpartum depression. With the right support, healing is possible. At Ohana Beginnings, our mentors and counselors check in regularly and connect you with caring professionals when needed.

Signs to Watch For

You may be experiencing postpartum depression if you notice:

• You feel sad or hopeless most of the day.
• You can’t sleep, even when your baby is resting.
• You feel anxious, angry, or completely overwhelmed.
• You’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy.
• You’re struggling to bond with your baby.
• You have thoughts of hurting yourself or your baby.
