I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Oreck to talk about Mavida Health, a unique platform combining clinical care and online emotional support and community for maternal and paternal mental health care. We can only hope that their style of specialized support and wide range of reproductive mental health services will eventually be replicated in more places across the US. You’ll learn what Mavida Health is doing to fill the gaps with accessible mental health care for families in need. Join us to hear more from Dr. Oreck.

Dr. Sarah Oreck is a Columbia University-trained psychiatrist with a fellowship in reproductive psychiatry. She is the co-founder and CEO of Mavida Health. Driven by a deep frustration with the shortcomings in maternal mental health care, Dr. Oreck envisioned Mavida as a platform to revolutionize access to high-quality mental health services along the path to parenthood. As a practicing therapist and prescriber, she combines cutting-edge medical treatments with a holistic, whole-body approach to mental health. She is the proud daughter of South American immigrants and grew up between Los Angeles and Colombia. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and three children.
