She practiced as a midwife for many years and experienced the challenges of caring for women with perinatal mood disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period. She sought additional training to care for these conditions and received her post Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2011. She has since been providing psychiatric care for adults in her private practice in Portland\, Oregon\, specializing in perinatal mood disorders.    \nThis training typically costs $275\, but Adria is offering the MN ACNM a discounted rate of $175.
