Dr. Heather Buxton is a child, adolescent, and reproductive psychiatrist with a passion for supporting growing families within and beyond the medical lens. While her work in medicine focuses on mental health and well-being, she believes that pregnant and postpartum families deserve more than just clinical care—they deserve a community, practical resources, and compassionate support for their entry into parenthood. She has noticed a gap in care for parents that are trying to learn as they start their parenting journey and not just be reactive and seek care when “problems” are identified later in life. Preventative mental health support for the family unit is at the core of her practice.

Dr. Buxton is offering coaching, therapy and medication management for parents navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Her practice supports both birthing or non-birthing parents — especially those feeling overwhelmed, untethered, or unsure of how to care for themselves while caring for a baby. She also provides child, adolescent and general adult psychiatry services.

She combines trauma-informed emotional tools, attachment-based insight, and down-to-earth guidance to help you find clarity, confidence, and connection — without pathologizing your experience or pretending this transition is easy.

Whether it’s navigating identity shifts, supporting a growing bond with your infant, navigating lack of sleep, finding emotional balance, or simply feeling seen and understood, she is dedicated to helping you thrive—not just survive—the start of your parenting journey.

Framework Philosophy

"There’s no one right way to parent. I believe all parents know themselves and their children best and I can provide gentle guidance that empowers you to chart your unique course with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.”
