Maternal Mental Health: Compassionate Support for Every Stage of Motherhood

The journey to and through motherhood can be filled with joy, but it can also bring overwhelming challenges. Whether you’re navigating the stress of pregnancy, dealing with postpartum depression, recovering from a pregnancy or infant loss, or simply feeling burdened by the demands of life, you don’t have to face it alone. Counseling can provide relief from the emotional pain and stress that often accompany these stages of life, offering you the support you need.

Traumatic Birth

Childbirth rarely goes exactly as planned, and sometimes the experience can be traumatic. Perhaps you faced unexpected medical complications, felt ignored or disrespected during labor, or are now haunted by what went wrong. These negative memories can linger, popping up unexpectedly and affecting your ability to enjoy the present moment or consider future pregnancies. You might be left feeling frustrated, down, or ashamed.

Our EMDR-trained therapists specialize in helping you process these traumatic birth experiences, neutralizing the emotional impact of the trauma. With their guidance, you can work through the pain, leaving behind the negative memories and finding the space to move forward with peace.

Grief Due to Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or Neonatal Death

The loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death is an unimaginable grief. It can feel like your world has collapsed, and life around you—especially others' pregnancies and newborns—becomes a painful reminder of your loss. You may feel alone, angry, or consumed by sadness. Simple routines may seem impossible as waves of grief wash over you unexpectedly.

Our therapists are here to walk alongside you during this difficult time. We offer a safe, supportive space to talk openly about your feelings, normalize your grief process, and develop personalized coping strategies to help you through it. We can also support you in finding ways to honor and remember the child you’ve lost in a way that feels meaningful and healing to you.

Stress From Family Changes

Changes to the family structure, whether due to a new addition, pregnancy, loss, or infertility, can put a strain on relationships and increase family stress. Your relationship with your partner may feel different, and older children might be showing signs of jealousy or acting out. These stressors can affect communication and create distance within the family.

Our therapists are trained to provide support for individuals and couples experiencing stress from family changes. Whether you’re seeking a relationship "checkup" or addressing deeper relational wounds, our specialized couples therapists can guide you and your partner toward a more fulfilling, connected relationship.
