## Abstract

Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDM) are popular extensions of the Standard Model for several reasons, but do not explain neutrino masses. In this work, we investigate how one can incorporate neutrino masses within the framework of the 2HDM-U(1), where U(1) is an abelian gauge symmetry used to nicely address the absence of flavor changing neutral currents in 2HDM. In particular, we explore realizations of the type I and type II seesaw since they are mechanisms that we dote on for being able to generate elegantly small active neutrino masses. We show that one can build several models featuring type I, type II and type I+II seesaw mechanism with different phenomenological implications.
