Maternal Mental Health
I created Chirpy Tree Therapy to work with children and to support mother's and birthing people.
I am trained by Maternal Mental Health Now! to support birthing people with their perinatal mental health journey. ​
As a mother of two young children, I understand the amount of stress and fear of all of the unknowns. The journey to get pregnant is not always an easy one and it can feel really lonely at times.
​I experienced postpartum preeclampsia with both of my children, while also battling OCD symptoms. Not only was this very stressful, but it was terrifying, lonely, and as a woman of color, I felt that I was not getting the level of support that I needed from the healthcare system.
I firmly believe that people do best when they have a team behind them. This is why I prioritize slots in my schedule for birthing women and birthing people of color. ​
​
I utilize ERP, CBT, and Mindfulness to treat disorders such as Perinatal:
OCD
Depression
Anxiety
Panic Disorder
Mindful Art for Mama
A 6 Week Series for Perinatal Women
Sophia Jasmine Dupree, LCSW, PPSC, offers a perinatal support group for pregnant or postpartum women. This group focuses on mindfulness skills through art-based interventions. It's a creative way to practice mindfulness and is not considered to be art therapy. The group is exclusively for moms to ensure a focused environment, therefore, unfortunately, children are not allowed in the space.

Are you interested in making new friends?
-
Are you wanting to learn more ways to be present and in the moment?
-
Are you finding it difficult to remember things or stay focused?
-
Are you experiencing any health concerns exacerbated by stress such as high blood pressure or diabetes?
-
Can you commit to coming to group for 6 weeks in a row?
​
This group is meant to be in a cohort format, meaning that the group members that start together will end together. The purpose of doing group this way is to build a safe space and to build meaningful connections. My goal is to have you leave group after 6 weeks feeling like you have a group of women that can become a part of your journey into motherhood.
​
Paying for Group
The cost of group will depend on if you are in person or virtual. The benefit of in-person is that you get to build stronger connections and I provide all of the supplies. Virtual group members are responsible for purchasing their own supplies. I email a list of recommended supplies to virtual group members. I accept cash pay or the following insurances, Blue Shield of CA, Anthem, Aetna, and United Healthcare. I use Headway to onboard my clients that want to pay with insurance.
Sliding scale options are available to those that are having financial difficulties. My goal is to make this as accessible as I can, while also honoring my time, expertise, and cost of running the groups.
