In 2025, we didn’t just grow. We expanded access to reproductive mental health care and strengthened the clinical workforce caring for women and families.

🔹 625 new students deepened their expertise in reproductive mental health
🔹 1,000+ professionals accessed free, high-quality training
🔹 4,200+ CE/CME credits advanced evidence-based care
🔹 275 patients received specialized treatment during vulnerable stages of life

Behind every number is a clinician better equipped to respond to complexity, and a patient who didn’t have to navigate it alone.

This is what workforce development and direct care look like in action. 💙

Postpartum psychosis remains one of the most misunderstood (and most dangerous) perinatal mental health conditions.

For more than five years, leaders of the D.S.M., the world’s most influential psychiatric manual, have been divided over whether postpartum psychosis should be recognized as a distinct diagnosis.

A recent article in The New York Times by Ellen Barry and Pam Belluck highlights growing calls from maternal mental health experts to formally name the condition, citing concerns that the lack of clear classification can delay recognition and treatment, with serious consequences for patients and families.

Seleni psychologist Christiane Manzella, PhD, offers clinical insight on why moving postpartum psychosis out of the diagnostic “grey zone” is critical for improving care and outcomes.

If you or someone you love is navigating perinatal mental health concerns, learn more about Dr. Manzella’s clinical work and explore therapy services at the Seleni Institute.

“Therapy is not about performing or being a ‘good patient.’ It’s a space where you can show up exactly as you are.”

Patricia Harteneck, PhD, is a senior clinical psychologist at the Seleni Institute who supports individuals navigating reproductive transitions, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and identity shifts.

Her approach is warm, insight-oriented, and grounded in helping people feel deeply understood during vulnerable stages of life.

Considering therapy but not sure where to begin?
✨ Dr. Harteneck is now accepting new clients for virtual appointments in NY
🧠 Specialties: Depression and anxiety, adjustment disorders, PMADs, life and career transitions, infertility, and therapy for highly sensitive people
