Pregnancy and postpartum therapy for all your maternal mental health needs

Do you find yourself feeling disconnected from the person you “used to be”?

Between the business of attending prenatal appointments, preparing the home, and keeping up with the day to day of life, it can be easy to discount your mental health during pregnancy and ignore symptoms. One third of postpartum depression and anxiety symptoms begin in pregnancy. Early detection of symptoms allows for better management of symptoms and improved quality of life in the postpartum.

  • During the prenatal period, it can feel confusing to navigate all of the changes to your body, hormones, sleep, mind and relationships. "One of the worst parts about the symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety is that they don't feel like symptoms. They feel like who you are." - Karen Kleiman, lcsw (Author of Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts)

    You may be wondering postpartum therapy for depression and/or anxiety can actually help, or if this is what it is supposed to feel like. You may be feeling unsure if it will feel better on its own. You may be fearful that if you let anyone know how you are feeling, they may judge you, or think you are not a good enough mother, or that what you are feeling is a reflection of you as a mom or your view towards your baby. You feel like you “should” be feeling happier, and it seems like others are able to handle it.

  • Anxiety symptoms during pregnancy have a way of worsening at night, especially as sleep becomes more interrupted as the pregnancy progresses. You may be feeling out of control of your body, worried about labor and delivery, or fearful about a high-risk pregnancy. Pressures of parenthood can start before your child even arrives. You may feel stuck between unsolicited advice, societal expectations, and what you think you “should” be able to do right now. It’s easy to feel like you’re failing, if what your actions don’t align with your expectations. Perinatal mental health support can help you learn coping skills to help with sleep, decrease anxiety symptoms and manage overwhelming emotions.

  • If you're experiencing postpartum depression, healing after childbirth, or struggling with the emotional challenges of new motherhood, therapy with a perinatal psychologist can help. It’s common to feel isolated or disconnected during this time, even with support from family and friends. Solution-focused counseling can help you expand your support network, practice self-compassion, and navigate the emotional layers of postpartum grief. Through therapy, you’ll gain confidence in asking for help and adjusting expectations, while healing from the natural transitions of motherhood.
