The PWCB was truly instrumental in my recovery from postpartum. To this day, I talk about the important of not just one support person, but a care team... and this expands beyond our postpartum days. My time spent there has laid the foundation for me to always have this care community around me and to anchor in at any time, even if my kid is now 4 years old. Forever grateful.

Report
I have been working with PWCB, specifically Kate Kripke, for over five years, and I have grown so tremendously as a person and a mom. I have felt incredibly supported as I have navigated my journey. I am given the space to show up and explore my most vulnerable self, and given tools on how to live authentically and mindfully. I would absolutely recommend PWCB to moms and families.

Report
I was really struggling after I had my first baby, I felt very anxious and didnt feel like myself. The PWC helped me find strategies and tools to get me through that very challenging time. Because of the support I received, I felt more secure with my parenting skills as a new mom and less anxious when baby #2 arrived.

Report
About 5 years ago, I was referred to the Postpartum Wellness Center by my doctor to get more support for my own well being after focusing solely on kids/family for too many years. I started seeing Kate Kripke, a therapist at the PWC (I was honestly a little embarrassed to show up there when my youngest was 3 years old, but I quickly learned that they work with women and families at all stages as you can read about on their website). I first started seeing Kate for acute depression and anxiety, but I continued seeing her once I felt better because I NEED outside support to talk through parenting
