Maternal-Fetal Medicine
If you’re pregnant, and especially if you have a medical condition that may affect your pregnancy, you’ll be glad to know about our Maternal-Fetal Medicine program. Our specialists are experts in caring for women with both straightforward and medically complicated pregnancies. They are experienced in using advanced medical resources to help pregnancies and deliveries progress smoothly. Services include:
  • Consultation in high-risk pregnancies

Behavioral Health
A woman’s emotional and psychological well-being is just as important as her physical health. Yet factors such as hormone fluctuations, loss of a loved one and life changes can take their toll. That’s why A Woman’s Life Center offers the services of an expert in women’s behavioral health. Our psychologist works with both adolescent and adult women to help them cope with the challenges and transitions of life. She provides counseling and psychotherapy related to:
  • Depression during or after pregnancy
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Weight and stress management
  • Bereavement
  • Menopause
For an appointment: (860) 545-4341

Integrative Medicine
Life can get pretty complicated for women today. The demands of working, raising a family, caring for aging parents and perhaps going through menopause at the same time can produce a “perfect storm” of stress. Physical illness and surgical procedures can compound the problem. It’s no wonder so many of us experience headaches, forgetfulness, anxiety and other troublesome symptoms. Recognizing the strong mind-body connection, our Integrative Medicine Department provides alternative therapies that complement traditional medicine and help enhance comfort, healing and quality of life. Therapies include:
  • Massage
  • Acupuncture
  • Reflexology
  • Newborn baby massage
  • Reiki
In the hands of our compassionate, highly trained providers, these therapies can be helpful in dealing with pain, stress, insomnia, menstrual problems, depression, menopausal changes, surgery and more.

For an appointment: (860) 545-4444.

Urogynecology
Problems common among mature women might have made earlier generations of women reluctant to leave the house. But today these annoying disorders don’t have to alter the quality of your life. The urogynecology experts at A Woman’s Life Center are nationally recognized leaders in treating pelvic-floor disorders such as incontinence, dropped bladder or uterus and overactive bladder. They are skilled in using a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical treatments to resolve these problems, so women can go on with their busy lives.

For an appointment: (860) 545-4338.

Gynecologic Oncology
Women seeking expert screening, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic cancers will find it at A Woman’s Life Center. Our center’s medical staff includes doctors who are experts in cancers affecting women’s reproductive organs. Each physician participates in the national Gynecology Oncology Group, which is dedicated to ongoing research and improving patient care. These knowledgeable physicians are available for consultation, treatment and long-term follow-up.

For an appointment: (860) 545-4341.
