Perinatal Mental Health

What It Is

Pregnancy and postpartum are often painted as joyful seasons. For many parents, they can also

bring fear, sadness, anxiety, or grief. Perinatal mental health therapy provides space to talk about

the realities that often go unseen, whether that is postpartum depression, perinatal anxiety, fertility

struggles, miscarriage, or the loss of a baby.

Why It Matters

When you are struggling during pregnancy or after birth, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. You

may wonder if you are failing or why your experience does not match what others describe. If you

have experienced miscarriage or infant loss, you may feel invisible in your grief. These feelings are

not a personal flaw — they are signs that you deserve support.

How Therapy Helps

In therapy, we work together to make sense of your experience, give language to the emotions you

may have been holding in silence, and build tools that support your well-being in this season. That

might look like learning new ways to manage anxious thoughts, grieving losses that others do not

always recognize, or simply having a place where you can speak honestly about what it is like to be

you right now.
