How We Treat
Pregnancy and new motherhood are often described as beautiful, joyful and fulfilling. While those moments certainly exist, many parents also experience fear, exhaustion, emotional overwhelm and unexpected changes in their mental health. For some, these feelings rise to the level of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety or a general sense of not feeling like themselves.
High Focus Centers Pennsylvania offers a fully virtual Perinatal Outpatient Group created specifically to support individuals navigating the emotional and mental health challenges of pregnancy and postpartum life. This online program provides a safe, confidential and flexible space to receive support without needing to leave home, arrange childcare or push through physical recovery.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression, adjusting to parenthood or seeking guidance as you prepare for delivery, our program meets you where you are.
What is a Virtual Perinatal Outpatient Group
A virtual perinatal outpatient group is a structured therapeutic program designed for individuals who are pregnant or postpartum and need emotional or mental health support. Many people search online for terms like “postpartum depression support group,” “virtual postpartum therapy,” “help for new moms feeling overwhelmed” or “postpartum anxiety help near me.” This program directly addresses those needs by offering real therapeutic support, not just peer-to-peer conversation.
Through secure video sessions, participants connect with trained clinicians and other parents in similar stages of life. The virtual format allows you to participate from the comfort of your home, even if you are feeding a baby, recovering from birth or adjusting to new routines. Parents can show up exactly as they are, without pressure to look a certain way or navigate travel.

The Perinatal Outpatient Group meets online once per week for 90 minutes, making participation accessible for parents who are home with a baby, recovering physically or juggling a full schedule.
Each session includes two parts:
1. Education and Guidance (First 30 Minutes)

Why Virtual Support Matters During Pregnancy and Postpartum

Virtual groups also help parents feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics like postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, guilt or relationship strain. Being in your own space often makes vulnerability easier.
A Compassionate Space to Heal and Grow
Postpartum depression and anxiety are common and treatable. Feeling overwhelmed does not mean you are failing. The Perinatal Outpatient Group at High Focus Centers Pennsylvania was created to help parents feel understood, supported and empowered during one of the most significant transitions of their lives.
