Welcome!

I’m Dr. Jeannemarie Leone, a licensed clinical psychologist in California (PSY31763), certified perinatal mental health professional (PMH-C), and birth & postpartum doula.

Are you a new parent who is struggling?

In my work I help biological and adoptive moms at all stages of pregnancy and postpartum navigate through anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, life stressors, and the new relationship they have with themselves and their baby. Whether you’re adjusting to being a new parent, trying to heal from a traumatic birth, or need help in bonding with your baby, it’s helpful to seek support from someone who understands the unique challenges you’re experiencing in your parenting journey.

Or perhaps you’d like to get support for your child or adolescent who is having a difficult time?

Changes, transitions, worries, and stressful experiences are overwhelming not only for adults, but for children especially. Infants, toddlers, and young children do not yet have the brain development that’s needed to allow them to verbalize and make sense of their thoughts and feelings in the ways that we as adults are able to, so children use other ways to show us that they are having a difficult time and need help. There may be problems with siblings, issues at daycare/school, sleep disruptions, or worries about being away from caregivers. For teens, there may be peer group problems, issues surrounding academic performance, You may feel like you’ve tried everything to help your child but as the days go by things don’t seem to be getting better. You’re tired. Your child is tired. And all you want is some relief.

My goal is help you, your child, and your family to function at its best. I will help you figure out factors that may be getting in the way, provide frequent feedback about ideas and interventions you can utilize to support emotional well-being, explain what’s developmentally healthy and normative, and make sure your questions get answered.
