Perinatal Mental Health w/ Jessie Gutierrez, LIMHP, LCSW

January is Mental Wellness Month! It is a time to reflect, reassess, and recalibrate our mental health strategies. On this special series of The Shrink Show, we are dedicating the month to raising awareness around mental health, emphasizing self-care, and working to break the stigma surrounding mental illness. Each week will feature a guest from a local provider or group practice in Nebraska, offering insights into the diverse mental health profession and the various providers who support the community. Tune in to discover new resources, hear expert advice, and learn how you can prioritize your mental wellness in the year ahead.

Jessie Gutierrez, a licensed clinical social worker, discusses the crucial topic of perinatal mental health. Jessie shares valuable insights on supporting mothers from the pregnancy and postpartum stages of life, including learning about Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Anxiety, and other mental health issues that mothers may face. The conversation covers identity shifts, anxiety, and self-doubt while raising children. This episode offers both practical tips and emotional support for parents during this transformative period. Jessie talks about her new podcast, Omaha Mom Talks, which aims to create connections for moms in Omaha, Nebraska.
