Despite the impact and prevalence of maternal mental illness, access to evidence-based treatment remains limited. This article examines the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of a 12-session cognitive behavioral therapy-based mobile intervention tailored to pregnant and postpartum individuals, Maya Perinatal Skills Program (Maya PSP), based on responses from three English-speaking perinatal individuals over age 18 who participated in an open pilot trial between 8 May 2024 and 14 January 2025. Participant feedback suggests that the program is an easy to use platform for accessing evidence-based coping skills. Recommendations for improving future iterations of the app are discussed. This research underscores the potential of digital interventions to expand access to maternal mental health resources, addressing unmet needs in a scalable, user-centered manner.
