8: Breaking the Silence on Maternal Mental Health with Cre Chritz

What if finding the right support during postpartum could change everything? In this episode, we dive into the challenges many new moms face, from physical recovery to emotional well-being, and how a lack of accessible resources often leaves them feeling isolated. Together, we explore ways to prioritize maternal mental health and navigate this pivotal time with the care every mother deserves. 

Creinthea (Cre) Chritz, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and master's-prepared educator, shares about her journey into mental health care, her work with mothers and women across life stages, and how her personal experiences shaped her professional path.

Cre shares her transition from teaching to nursing and her passion for addressing the unique mental health needs of women. She opens up about her own challenges with gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and postpartum anxiety, which inspired her to found Coherent Care Women's and Maternal Wellness. Her practice, based in Denver, Colorado, also serves women in Florida and Iowa, with plans to expand further.
