Understanding Perinatal & Postpartum Support
Your Perinatal & Postpartum Journey
Initial Consultation & Assessment

During your therapy sessions, you will engage in supportive discussions and learn new coping mechanisms. We focus on building resilience, improving communication, and fostering a stronger sense of self. Sessions can be conducted in-person or via secure telehealth for your convenience.

Testimonials
I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
