Motherhood brings profound joy—but it can also bring unexpected emotional and psychological challenges. From conception to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum phase, women may face anxiety, depression, identity shifts, and overwhelming stress. Maternal psychotherapy is a specialized approach that supports mothers (and mothers-to-be) in navigating these transitions with compassion and clarity.
Empowering emotional wellbeing through every stage of motherhood
Mental health during and after pregnancy is just as important as physical health. Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, shifting relationships, and societal expectations can all contribute to feelings of isolation or distress. Ignoring these signs may lead to more serious conditions like postpartum depression or anxiety. Early intervention through therapy can help you process your emotions and build resilience for a more balanced and empowered experience of motherhood.
Our sessions are personalized to meet you where you are in your motherhood journey. We offer support for
- Prenatal anxiety and depression
- Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety
- Birth trauma or medical trauma
- Emotional challenges during fertility treatments
- Fear of childbirth (tokophobia)
- Relationship strain during parenting
- Identity loss or role confusion
- Breastfeeding challenges and emotional stress
- Processing miscarriages or perinatal loss
Maternal psychotherapy creates a gentle, safe space where your emotions are validated, not judged. We use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and narrative therapy, tailored to your specific needs.
