I highly recommend the Seleni Institute to fellow new moms who could use some guidance and sense of community in NYC. The premise feels welcoming and even the interior design feels soothing, almost like a spa for the soul.

Seleni Patient
Seleni’s training has been so helpful in my work with newly postpartum families.

Lactation Specialist & Seleni Trainee
Thank you for creating such an open and welcoming space to come to therapy each week. It means so much to be greeted at the door with a smile.

Seleni Patient
As a perinatal clinical psychologist, I am so grateful for the Seleni Institute. Their training and support were transformative for my career.

Perinatal Clinical Psychologist & Seleni Trainee
I was able to receive treatment with support from Seleni’s Financial Assistance Program. My therapist provided me with an exceptional tool box to navigate motherhood and, quite honestly, life.

Seleni Patient
Far too many healthcare practitioners struggle to fully recognize the unique challenges bereaved parents face and to provide a compassionate, judgment-free space as they navigate profound loss. For professionals in mental health and maternal-newborn health, this training is essential.

Doula & Seleni Trainee (PMADs Course)
I went into therapy feeling like a child and came out feeling like I had truly grown as an adult. I do not think I would have the healthy relationship I have today with my two children without the support I received from Seleni.

Seleni Patient
Seleni’s programs feel like a luxury but are an actual necessity.

Seleni Patient
I don’t have the words to express the gratitude that myself, my husband, and our baby have for the clinical care we receive at Seleni.

Seleni Patient
Seleni's program's depth and the instructors' expertise taught me the skills and knowledge to truly make a difference in the lives of new mothers. What I have gained from Seleni has been invaluable in my practice!
