Perinatal & Postpartum

Mental Health

Pregnancy and postpartum aren't always joyful, and that doesn't make you a bad parent. You may be grieving a loss, struggling to connect, or overwhelmed by the pressure to “do it all.” These are more than just hormones. We offer a space to process it all without judgment.

What Does It Look Like?

Perinatal and postpartum mental health challenges can show up differently for everyone. You might be feeling:

  • Persistent sadness, anxiety, or guilt

  • Racing thoughts or panic attacks

  • Difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Intrusive or distressing thoughts

  • Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy

  • Grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infertility

  • Struggles with identity, body image, or partner dynamics

These experiences are common, and treatable. You’re not alone.

Our Approach to Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health

We match clients with trauma-informed therapists trained in methods that support emotional well-being during pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, including:

  • Somatic & Body-Based Therapies to help regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your body

  • EMDR & Internal Family Systems (IFS) to gently process birth trauma, grief, or past experiences

  • Narrative & Attachment-Based Therapy to explore identity shifts, relationship dynamics, and self-worth

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety or depression

  • Mindfulness & Grounding Techniques to manage overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, and emotional reactivity

We honor the complexity of your journey, whether you're navigating fertility challenges, postpartum depression, birth trauma, or identity shifts in parenthood.
You set the pace, and we’re here to walk with you.
