Root + Rise Perinatal Health

About this facility

Root + Rise Perinatal Health is a specialized mental health clinic based in Rockland, Massachusetts. They serve the Greater Boston area and are the first independent, private, insurance-accepting perinatal-specific outpatient program in the region. The organization was founded out of a deep understanding of the challenges that come with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Root and Rise was created by individuals who personally experienced the isolation and emotional struggles of the perinatal period and hoped to build a supportive space that bridges the gap between traditional therapy and hospital-based care. Their mission centers on helping new and expecting parents feel seen, supported, and connected as they navigate one of life’s most transformative experiences. Root + Rise provides a comprehensive range of mental health and wellness services tailored to individuals in the perinatal stage. Their offerings include individual therapy with clinicians trained in perinatal mental health, on-site psychiatric care, and medication management designed specifically for pregnant and postpartum patients. They also provide day treatment programs that allow parents to bring their infants, integrating therapy, wellness practices, and peer support into a single setting. Their approach incorporates holistic and mind-body elements such as yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition guidance, as well as group therapy and parenting support. The clinic offers childcare on-site, provided by certified postpartum doulas, so participants can fully engage in their treatment. Their goal is to support those who need more than weekly therapy but do not require hospitalization, ensuring access to personalized, compassionate, and evidence-based care. Root + Rise primarily serves birthing people, new parents, and families adjusting to the emotional and psychological demands of pregnancy and postpartum life. They emphasize that 1 in 5 birthing individuals and 1 in 10 partners experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, many of whom never receive adequate care. The clinic’s service area spans Boston, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Norwell, Scituate, and other nearby communities. As a licensed mental health center, they provide outpatient care at their Rockland location on Hingham Street and are guided by values of compassion, clinical excellence, and community connection. Root + Rise’s philosophy highlights that no parent should have to rise alone and that meaningful healing happens through shared understanding, professional guidance, and holistic support.
