a preventative model of care for families
As a primary prevention model of care, we begin by asking two questions:
1. What are the conditions that help families and communities thrive?
2. How might Well Baby Center help to meet these conditions?
Using a prevention model, there are two key factors that prevent family dysfunction and help families thrive:
Adequate community support and adequate emotional support provided by culturally sensitive, de-stigmatizing mental health professionals.
Through our services, we help families receive these two protective factors. Whether you are juggling the enormous responsibilities of being new parents or simply struggling to get by in your life, we are here for you.
COUNSELING FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME!
Well Baby Center is currently accepting new clients as we continue to provide high quality, low fee counseling and group services, regardless of ability to pay or documented status. Full or partial scholarships may be available to those who qualify.
As we strive to navigate these unprecedented times, Well Baby Center will continue to provide services virtually. However, starting in Spring 2021, some services will be provided in person in our private, spacious, and regularly sanitized playground area.
Counseling is available in both English and Spanish.
Although we have changed how our services are being delivered, our commitment to our community’s wellness is stronger than ever.

Our Mission
Well Baby Center believes that every family deserves a place to feel supported — especially in the beginning. By strengthening family connections, healing the past, and providing social support, we help families and communities thrive.
All (now online) clinical services are available on a sliding scale based on your income. We also provide full or partial scholarships to those who qualify.
Welcome to Well Baby Center.
our approach
Our specially-trained family counselors guide parents through the process of self-healing and self-discovery so they can be fully present as their child grows. We strive to achieve maximum impact by intervening as early as possible.
In addition, we provide specialized infant-parent and maternal mental health training to professionals who, through their own clinical practice, will reach many families beyond those served at Well Baby Center.
our services
We offer free phone consultations to all our new clients in order for you to ask questions, get to know your counselor, and make the decision to move forward. We will also determine your fee based on your ability to pay for services. Full scholarships and sliding scale fees are available – no one is turned away for lack of funds.
