About this listen

Thanks for stopping by! We'd love to hear from you.

Wendy Davis, PhD, PMH-C, is the President and CEO of Postpartum Support International (PSI), an organization dedicated to supporting the mental health of people during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Under her leadership, PSI connects families with resources, offers professional training, and promotes mental health support for a strong and healthy start to parenthood.

Dr. Davis brings vision and guidance to PSI’s team, chapters, and experts, helping to expand access to education, support, and care for individuals and families during this important time. Her passion for this work began with her own experience—she became a perinatal mental health specialist after recovering from postpartum depression and anxiety herself.

Wendy started Oregon’s first peer support group for new parents, Baby Blues Connection, and continues to advocate for the power of peer support and lived experience in healing. She works closely with healthcare providers, community groups, and government leaders to improve care and shape policy around perinatal mental health.

She also leads the PSI Mind the Gap Initiative, a national effort to bring together organizations and experts to ensure perinatal mental health remains a top priority.
