Meet Our Team

Michelle Friedman, LCSW, PMH-C

Director of Counseling

Hello and welcome! My name is Michelle and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional in the states of New York, Florida, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. For over 15 years, I have helped people through all different stages of life. In practice, I focus on person-centered, supportive approaches that highlight your personal strengths and needs. My training is in cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and mindfulness-based therapies with a background in trauma informed care.

I have specialized training in Maternal Mental Health as well as Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. I have a passion for helping women and families through their unique journey in to pregnancy and throughout the postpartum period which requires specialized support, resources, and interventions.

1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression and other perinatal mood disorders. More than 1 in 5 experience loss. The road to parenthood may not be exactly what you were expecting. Uncertainty, depression, anxiety, isolation, infertility, traumatic experiences, and difficulties adjusting in relationships/new roles are all hard realities that many women (and their family's) face.

Just remember with the right help you won't go through it alone and you can find your best self again!
