Reviews for this provider are notably mixed. A small number of positive reviewers describe warm, caring staff and found individual therapists — including Kylie, Lyndal, and Lori — genuinely helpful for perinatal mental health challenges, with one parent valuing the fully rebatable telehealth access. However, multiple one-star reviews raise serious concerns: several reviewers describe feeling judged or poorly treated by therapists, one makes a significant allegation of inappropriate conduct by a practitioner, and others report the service is very difficult to access due to strict referral criteria and long waitlists. The provider's Facebook support group is also criticised by more than one reviewer for inadequate moderation and an unsafe atmosphere.
