Welcome to The Center for Perinatal Mental Health at CCP! We opened this location in 2024, and our goal with this location is to offer multidisciplinary options for care for our perinatal patients to support your mental health. The perinatal period begins from the moment you are thinking about adding to your family, if you are struggling with infertility and loss while trying to grow your family and continues to the first year postpartum and beyond. The Center offers individual and group therapy for wherever you are at in your perinatal journey, including miscarriage/infant loss support and infertility support.
We are also partnering with other community providers to offer easy access to lactation services, speech and language/feeding support, pelvic floor phyisical therapy, and childbirth education classes. We are excited to make those warm hand offs and connections for you so it’s easier to reach these services and education for your perinatal journey!

Birch Tree Birth Services
Izabel Looney, Doula
Izabel (she/her) is a birth doula trained through DONA International and a postpartum doula trained through CAPPA. Izabel made her way into birth work in 2021 due to a strong desire to be with families at a monumental time and in 2024 added her transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) certifications to better support birthing parents who want more options around pain management. Giving parents the tools to make sure not just their little(s) are well taken care of but also making sure they are well supported and taken care of throughout the first year of life is incredibly important to Izabel. This lead the way becoming a postpartum doula in 2023 and to our education program offering Prep For Post created by Kate Littlefield (LCMHC). A perinatal mental health course to guide you through making an extensive postpartum wellness plan including budget, risk factors, communication agreements and boundaries as well as how and when to ask for help when challenges arise. Supporting you and your family through something as special as birth makes her heart sing. She looks forward to supporting your family’s journey through pregnancy, labor and throughout the postpartum period of time.
In her free time she loves to hike, go white water kayaking, participate in the SCA and is an avid reader. Izabel expresses her creativity through crocheting, painting, and metalwork, and she loves cooking for others and sharing a love of food with those in her community.
