Lea Berentson, PsyD

Dr. Lea Berentson is a clinical psychologist who specializes in perinatal psychology. She primarily works with women who are pregnant or postpartum. Most of her referrals come from the OB/GYN practitioners that she works with. This unique setup gives patients in her clinic easy access to mental health services. Dr. Berentson wants to make moms aware that there are treatments for pregnancy-related mental health issues and that they don’t have to suffer. She also wants to help her patients understand the difference between baby blues and something more significant like depression. Her goal is to help moms be healthy because she knows that if moms are healthy, then families are healthy. The relationship between a child and a parent or caregiver is one of the most important bonds in a person’s life and it should be a healthy one from the start.
