I highly recommend 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. The staff has the expertise and really cares about women’s issues. Seleni’s programs feel like a luxury but are an actual necessity.

Seleni Patient
Seleni’s training has been so helpful in my work at the hospital with newly postpartum families. My goal is to destigmatize PMADs right from the beginning of one’s parenting journey and prioritize self-care and support as a means to healthy attachment with their babies.

Lactation Specialist & Seleni Student
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. 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
As a perinatal clinical psychologist, I am so grateful for the Seleni Institute. Their training and support were transformative for my career. 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!

Perinatal Clinical Psychologist & Seleni Student
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
For anyone working in the field of mental health and maternal and newborn health, this is a requirement as far too many health care practitioners are failing to appreciate the unique set of circumstances surrounding bereaved parents and to effectively hold the space for them without judgement as they move through devastating experiences.

Doula & Seleni Student
I went into therapy feeling like a child and came out feeling 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.
