Summary of show:
In this episode of the Motherhood Village podcast, I speak with special guest Dr. Andrea Niles - a clinical psychologist and founder of Prospera Mental Health and Wellness. She has studied anxiety and depression treatments and maternal mental health for 17 years and is passionate about making high quality mental health care widely accessible and affordable to everyone. Prospera is a mental health platform designed specifically for moms. Through weekly 1-on-1 sessions with perinatal certified mental health coaches and a library of digital tools specifically designed for moms, they help with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum rage, birth trauma, postpartum intrusive thoughts, and more.
She delves into the importance of making high-quality mental health care readily accessible and affordable, and why she is deeply passionate about this particular niche in mental health.
The conversation encompasses common mental health challenges women face during pregnancy and postpartum, including birth trauma and postpartum rage. We also cover Dr. Niles' personal journey practicing maternal mental health before and after becoming a mother herself.
