Annabelle Mebane

LMFT #139451Bio:
Annabelle Mebane's practice, California Anxiety & Perinatal Therapy, is focused on evidence-based treatment for new and expectant moms. Annabelle provides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and has years of training and experience in the treatment of anxiety and related disorders, including OCD and PTSD. After becoming a mom, Annabelle decided to seek additional specialized training in perinatal mental health. She brings her lived experience as a mom, her specialized training in perinatal mental health, and her expertise in evidence-based treatment for anxiety and related disorders to support pregnant patients and new mothers in navigating the transition into motherhood, perinatal emotional adjustment, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). In the words of Esther Perel, “having a baby is a psychological revolution that changes our relationship to almost everything and everyone.” The journey into motherhood (known as “matrescence”) — from trying to conceive through postpartum — represents a monumental transition into a new realm, accompanied by the full range of human emotion including everything from deep love, joy, gratitude, fulfillment, and connection to profound sadness, grief, anxiety, anger, loneliness, confusion, overwhelm and exhaustion. It is a beautiful and at times harrowing experience. Whether you are struggling with clinically significant levels of perinatal anxiety or depression, or with not feeling like yourself, changes to and challenges in your relationship since entering parenthood, or feeling overwhelmed, confused, or alone in your experience, you deserve support in navigating this time. Annabelle provides her services via telehealth to patients located anywhere in California, and has both weekday and weekend availability.
