Today’s guest is pioneering sweeping innovations in access to maternal and perinatal mental health care, changing the face of care for many women and families. The truth is that too many people are falling through the cracks in our US healthcare system, especially in the perinatal period. Join us to learn what Mamaya Health is doing to help revamp the system!

Amy Green is the founder and CEO of Mamaya Health and the Nashville Collaborative Counseling Center. Over the last ten years, Amy has served as a clinical social worker, adjunct professor, nonprofit founder, and entrepreneur. Through her experience with pregnancy loss and a deep passion for creating access to care, Amy founded the NCCC in 2019 to change the landscape of mental health care available to those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and loss. Mamaya Health was founded in 2023 as a subsidiary of NCCC to support the next stage of scale and growth of maternal mental health care. Amy is proud to be part of the EY Winning Women of North America 2023 Cohort and a recipient of the Nashville Emerging Entrepreneurs of 2022 Award from the Nashville Business Journal. She received her MSW from the University of Buffalo with a concentration in trauma-informed care and human rights, a certification from the University of Massachusetts in Integrated Care Management, and a certification in maternal mental health from Postpartum Support International. Amy lives in Nashville, TN, with her partner, Isaac, and two daughters.
