About
Anchor Perinatal Wellness
At Anchor Perinatal Wellness, our strength lies in the passionate and experienced individuals who form our dedicated team. We're more than just clinicians; we're parents, partners, friends, and compassionate professionals who understand the emotional intricacies of pregnancy and early parenthood.
Our Why
APW was created by three therapists/moms who recognized a major gap in maternal mental health services in the Southeast. We saw how many moms needed more than weekly outpatient therapy but less than inpatient care. We also wanted to create a program that brought people together in a supportive community who really get it. And with that, Anchor Perinatal Wellness - the Southeast’s first perinatal IOP - was born!
​
We then created our free screening clinic to address the fact that less than 20% of perinatal people are currently screened for perinatal mental health conditions. We wanted to remove as many barriers as possible for accessing information.
