Perinatal Mental Health Matters: A Conversation with Diane Palacios
The Modality Podcast
Episode #25, April 2025
Diane Palacios, LPC, was recently featured on The Modality Podcast, presented by Pinnacle Peak Recovery, to discuss the importance of Perinatal Mental Health.
​
In this episode, Diane shares her expertise on the emotional and psychological challenges that can arise during pregnancy and the postpartum period—covering topics such as anxiety, depression, identity shifts, and the often invisible weight of new motherhood.
​
She offers insight into how therapy can support women during this vulnerable time, and speaks to fellow clinicians about what it means to provide truly compassionate, trauma-informed care for mothers and parents.
Whether you’re a new parent, a birth professional, or a therapist seeking to deepen your understanding, this conversation sheds light on the complexity and importance of mental health in the perinatal period.
