Mental Health in South Bend

Care that treats the whole picture.

Candescent provides mental health services shaped around each patient. Two areas we focus on in particular: perinatal and postpartum depression, and mental health that overlaps with sexual health.

  • ApproachHolistic
  • Integrated withYour other care

Perinatal and postpartum depression

The anatomic, physiologic and psychological changes of pregnancy, of pregnancy loss, and of the postpartum period all raise the risk of depression. Changing family dynamics and the expectations people set for themselves add to it.

It is common and it responds to treatment. Recognizing it is the hard part; the rest we can help with.

The overlap

Sexual health concerns and mental health concerns often arrive together, causing real distress to patients and their partners. We take a holistic and comprehensive approach to both rather than treating one and referring the other away.

What it costs

Ask at booking

Some visits bill to insurance. If you need urgent help, call 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Questions we get asked

Is this therapy?
We provide mental health services within the practice and refer on where specialist therapy is the right answer. The first conversation will make clear which you need.
Are you accepting new patients, and how soon can I be seen?
Yes. Call the office and we will get you booked in; tell us if it is urgent and we will work out the soonest we can see you.
What if I'm in crisis right now?
Please call or text 988, or go to the emergency department. We cannot provide emergency care.

Went in for my first appointment, and Claire made me feel so comfortable and at ease, that I could bring my true self and experiences and questions with no shame or judgement. I received connection, care, and understanding and I’m hopeful for solutions going forward!

Still deciding about Mental Health?

That is a completely normal place to be. Nothing is booked by asking, and if this turns out not to be the right treatment for you, we will say so.

We answer inquiries on the days we are open, usually within one business day. Nothing here is an appointment until somebody from the practice has spoken to you.
