Any mother can tell you there are a lot of joys and hardships that go along with having a new baby. One aspect of motherhood that is not talked about as much is Perinatal health as whole. Today we have Jessica Allred, an LCSW and PMH-C here to talk to use about this very important subject to what it is, how to help others who are struggling and what we can do as a community to get the conversation about Perinatal started.

Jessica holds a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Utah. With over 12 years of experience in private practice, Jessica’s dedication to expanding her services led her to become the Co-Owner and clinical director of Treat Counseling, where she now trains other clinicians.

Specializing in Perinatal Mental Health, Jessica is certified in this field with a PMH-C and is deeply committed to empowering women, helping them find their voices, and fostering self-love. She has written a curriculum for, and begun a free support group for pregnant and postpartum moms and runs the group weekly both virtual and in person.
