Pregnancy and Postpartum Therapy
With help, women get better! Support is crucial for maternal well-being and the infant-family health. You don’t have to struggle alone.
Pregnancy
Is a time of change, both physically and emotionally. Connecting early with a therapist can help you navigate stress, fears, or past experiences that may surface, while also building tools for resilience and calm. Early support creates a stronger foundation for both you and your baby.
Signs it may help to connect with a therapist:
Persistent anxiety, worry, or panic about your health or your baby’s health
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing due to racing thoughts
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, sad, or disconnected
Previous pregnancy or birth trauma that resurfaces
Struggles in your relationship or lack of support system
Trouble bonding with your pregnancy or fears about becoming a parent
Postpartum
The postpartum period brings a mix of joy and challenge, and it’s common to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike yourself. Therapy offers a safe space to process your experience, strengthen your bond with your baby, and care for your own well-being so you don’t have to go through this season alone.
Signs it may be time to seek support:
Feeling sad, hopeless, or tearful most of the day
Intense anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or panic attacks
Difficulty bonding with your baby or feeling numb
Overwhelming guilt or thoughts of not being a “good enough” parent
Withdrawing from your partner, friends, or support system
Changes in sleep or appetite beyond normal newborn adjustments
Feeling like you’re just “getting through” rather than living
You don’t need fixing! You need support, compassion, and space to be seen in this tender chapter.
Traumatic Birth
A difficult birth can leave more than physical scars — it can impact your sense of safety, connection, and self. You don’t have to carry this alone. Together, we can process your experience and begin the healing you deserve. Reach out today to take the first step toward feeling whole again.
Signs you may be carrying trauma from birth:
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or on edge when thinking about your birth experience
Avoiding conversations, places, or people that remind you of it
Trouble bonding with your baby or feeling detached
Persistent guilt, shame, or self-blame about what happened
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories of the birth
Feeling your body tense or shut down when recalling details
Perinatal Loss
Sometimes words can’t express the pain. And even the people you love may not understand.
Experiencing perinatal loss can feel isolating, overwhelming, and difficult to put into words. The grief may show up in your body, your relationships, and your daily life in ways that feel heavy or confusing. You don’t have to navigate this pain alone — healing is possible.
If you notice yourself feeling:
overwhelmed
avoiding reminders of pregnancy or babies
struggling with guilt or ‘what if’ thoughts
having trouble sleeping
feeling disconnected from yourself or others
These may be signs it’s time to seek support!
