With a large group practice of 35 therapists, Jennifer Teplin has been able to create a safe space for mental health. And with 12 of those therapists trained in perinatal mental health, the space is very focused on supporting new parents. Since this country has an epidemic of postpartum depression and anxiety, it’s wonderful that centers such as Manhattan Wellness exist. Listen here as Jennifer Teflon and Katie Oshita discuss postpartum mental health, breastfeeding, and all the challenges new parents face today.

Podcast Guest: Jennifer Teplin created Manhattan Wellness, a boutique psychotherapy practice, for young professionals to receive well-rounded care, and to support them in optimizing their life so it’s a life they LOVE - not just one that’s about checking off boxes and surface-level achievements. With mentions in Cosmopolitan and Oprah magazine, along with her master’s degree from Columbia University, Jennifer has not only created a space for therapeutic healing - she has created a movement that changes the landscape of therapy and counseling.

Podcast Host: Katie Oshita, RN, BSN, IBCLC has over 25 years of experience working in Maternal-Infant Medicine.
