Pasadena Clinical Group is an outpatient psychology practice offering perinatal mental health group therapy and individual therapy for women across the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Our program supports pregnant women, postpartum mothers, and early parenting adults navigating mood changes, anxiety, identity shifts, and the demands of new family life.
The first year around childbirth is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding seasons in a woman's life. Our work is dedicated to that season — without rushing your timeline, minimizing your experience, or pushing you toward conclusions you are not ready to make.
Pregnancy can bring sustained worry, intrusive thoughts, sleep difficulty, and a sense that everyone else seems calmer than you do. Our group therapy creates a space where those experiences are met with structure and compassion, not dismissal.
Postpartum life can include tearfulness, irritability, persistent low mood, intrusive thoughts, and a complicated mix of love and exhaustion. We focus on grounded, evidence-informed support for women in the first weeks and months after childbirth.
Becoming a mother can change how you see yourself, your body, your career, your partnership, and your sense of agency. Our perinatal therapy attends to those layered shifts as part of the clinical picture, not a footnote to it.
Many women in Los Angeles describe the perinatal period as a contradiction — surrounded by people yet profoundly alone with their internal experience. Group therapy directly addresses that paradox. In a small, confidential, therapist-led setting, women hear their own thoughts spoken back to them by other women who actually understand. Connection becomes a clinical intervention, not an extra.
We see women from across the Los Angeles metropolitan area — from Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Arcadia, and the San Gabriel Valley to Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Hollywood, Mid-City, and the broader Westside. Whether you are managing a high-risk pregnancy, planning a return to work, or sitting with the shock of how different motherhood feels, our perinatal program is built for you.
Care here is structured but never rigid. We coordinate insurance benefits up front, match you with a clinician thoughtfully, and let the work unfold at the pace your body and life can sustain.
Our care coordinator listens to what is bringing you in, answers questions about the program, and verifies your insurance benefits before any commitments are made.
You are matched with a licensed therapist whose background fits your concerns — whether that is prenatal anxiety, postpartum depression, perinatal loss, or relational adjustment.
Most women benefit from a combination of therapist-led perinatal group therapy and individual sessions, scheduled around pregnancy fatigue, infant care, and work demands.
Our front office handles rescheduling, billing questions, and benefits coordination across major California health plans, so you can keep your attention where it needs to be.
We do not advertise outcomes we cannot guarantee. Group therapy is not a substitute for psychiatric medication management, obstetric care, or emergency services. What we do offer is a structured, confidential, women-centered environment where the emotional reality of perinatal life is taken seriously and addressed with clinical care.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or your baby, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. You can also reach the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262.
If pregnancy or postpartum has felt heavier, lonelier, or more confusing than you expected, you are exactly who this program is for. Our care coordinator can verify your insurance and help you book a first session, often the same week.
