Perinatal Mental Health

Dr. Dimler is passionate about working with people in the perinatal stage. Whether you are currently pregnant, postpartum (4th trimester), or chasing a toddler, so much is happening in your brain and body. It can be such an exciting time, and it can also be a scary, overwhelming, or even miserable at times. As a mom of two young children herself, Dr. Dimler understands the importance of providing a non-judgmental, non-shaming space for individuals expecting or currently raising a child. There is so much to process and learn about in terms of coping and taking care of yourself as you take care of another tiny human. If you are struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, eating/body image issues, or you do not know what to call it but just know you are struggling, please reach out.
