Dr. Ariel Blum is a licensed psychologist in New York and Connecticut with a PhD from Fordham University. She works with children, parents, and individuals in the perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) period who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Dr. Blum has expertise in child development and received specialized training in perinatal mental health. Dr. Blum cares deeply about fostering strong parent-child relationships and working with current and expectant parents who are managing the everyday stressors and adjustments to their parenting role.

Dr. Blum is certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) with trainings from the Seleni Institute, Postpartum Support International, and the Postpartum Stress Center.
