Since 2011, we have led the effort to destigmatize and transform the care landscape of maternal and family mental health.
Our hybrid approach provides clinical services for individuals and families and accredited training for healthcare providers.
The Facts
1 in 5 women will experience maternal mental health conditions during pregnancy or following the first year of pregnancy.
The family-building years can be the most joyful but also the most stressful time of life. It is estimated that 75% of women with perinatal mental health challenges do not obtain professional care, increasing the risk of lasting negative impacts on mothers, babies, and families.
At Seleni, we care for patients, train clinicians, and destigmatize and transform the way emotional health is viewed and treated to improve the lives of parents and future generations.
Our Mission
We treat, train, support, and advocate to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals and their families during the family-building years.
OUR VISION
A world where emotional health is valued just as much as physical health.
What we do
Provide Individualized Treatment
Seleni’s clinicians specialize in a wide variety of issues and use various treatment modalities to best serve their patients. Specialties include perinatal depression and anxiety, grief and bereavement, family building, perimenopause, and more. No matter who you are, we are here to help in a supportive and confidential setting.
Train & Educate Healthcare Providers
We equip medical professionals and organizations with evidence-based trainings to support the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals and families. Our trainings are CE- and CME-accredited for healthcare professionals, including psychologists and social workers, and are available online and on-demand.
“It was a wonderful opening to helping me feel more confident in helping families on their journey. I feel grateful for the experience.”
Our name, Seleni, honors and supports the courage it takes to seek help
We bring together two extraordinary women: Selene, goddess of the moon, long associated with women, emotions, and serenity; and Eleni, a mother who bravely fought for her children’s escape to America. We root our vision for our empathetic, comprehensive, evidence-based care in the deepest respect for bravery and emotion.
Our logo, a classic labyrinth, evokes our individual journeys, the complexity of our brains’ design, and a reminder of the human at the heart of each experience.
