Question 3

Can I do therapy if I need to bring my baby or need flexible hours?

Question 4

Do I need medication for Postpartum Depression, or just therapy?

On Alma, filter clinicians in Redondo Beach who offer medication management or therapists who support Postpartum mental health.

Question 5

Can a therapist help during pregnancy, before the baby arrives?
