Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Antioch, CA

Hello! I'm Kris and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and the founder of Village Wellness Center, a thriving group psychotherapy practice based in San Juan Capistrano. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, and I specialize in maternal mental health, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the unique needs of women and mothers.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Sacramento State University and returned to school 15 years later to earn my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology.

The beginning of my career in mental health started in residential care helping at-risk youth, and over the course of 20 years, my work and experience evolved into leading and developing clinical programs for outpatient and court-mandated facilities while also building my specialty in perinatal mood disorders and maternal mental health in my private practice. Additionally over the past two decades, I was raising my family and actively contributing to the Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano communities.

Through my own struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety, I became a passionate advocate for maternal wellness and thriving families. This became the catalyst to opening Village Wellness Center, where the ability to serve entire families and promote holistic mental wellness with a team of therapists can be achieved.

I create a warm environment to work collaboratively on achieving your objectives. I've been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 20 years. I specialize in relationships, anxiety, depression, fears/phobias, couples work, creativity, career enhancement among other goals. I have an eclectic treatment modality including psychodynamic, self-psychology, cognitive-behavioral, hypnotherapy and NLP.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and 34 years of experience, offering telehealth therapy to clients in California. I'm most in my element with people who are learning their needs, what's getting in their way and feel ready to meet their challenges. My clients come from all walks of life. I help those who are too hard on themselves to become their own best friend.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialty in maternal mental health — supporting people through pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the emotional transitions that come with becoming a parent. My background in home health, hospice, and hospital-based care has given me a deep appreciation for the whole person, not just the presenting concern. I see clients virtually in the evenings, so getting support that actually fits your life is something I take seriously.

Stuck? In pain? Contemplating a life change, or just had one thrust upon you? Let's explore your options and make things easier.

I have 20+ years of experience helping demoralized adults back to high functionality. I specialize in helping develop motivational skills in those are dealing with depression, anxiety and adjustment issues (including relational and gender identity issues).

Hi, I’m Chloé Wei, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Lic#133073). I believe that at our core, we all have a deep need to be seen, heard, and understood. For the past nine years, my work has been rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the most powerful tool for healing.

Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of depression, the exhaustion of new parenthood, or the shifting tides of a major life transition, you don’t have to carry it alone. Together, we will create a space where you can feel safe enough to be authentic, vulnerable, and ultimately, empowered!

I am a first-generation Latina LCSW and mother dedicated to supporting adults in navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges.

Hi, I’m Elisa. I specialize in supporting women of all ages and stages in life, especially mothers and caregivers, through anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and the many emotional shifts that come with motherhood and womanhood. Whether you’re a new mom, returning to work, coping with postpartum changes, grieving a loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the many roles you carry, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women through the emotional shifts that come with pregnancy, postpartum, identity changes, and the ongoing evolution of motherhood and womanhood.

If it feels like everything is falling apart, your emotions feel heavy or confusing, or you barely recognize yourself anymore, I get it, because I’ve lived it. I work with women who are exhausted from worrying, caregiving, and carrying it all, and who are ready to find steadiness, relief, and a sense of themselves again.

I understand firsthand how these seasons can bring both joy and overwhelm. From early motherhood to balancing career and family, to navigating hormonal and identity changes later in life, therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself—not who you think you “should” be, but who you are becoming.

**I am bilingual and offer therapy in both Spanish and English
