Pregnancy: Prenatal & Postpartum Therapy

Having a child is one of the most monumental, exciting and life-changing experiences one can go through. It can also be a time of anxiety, fear, stress and uncertainty. Whether you had an easy time conceiving or have been struggling with fertility issues and losses, feelings can come up that are complex, confusing and rapidly changing.

Therapy can help you move through the experience of pregnancy with less stress by allowing you to explore your feelings about parenthood, your models of parenting and your anxieties and fears around having a child.

Therapy postpartum can also provide a space to process the birth (whether it was traumatic or relatively easy), normalize the roller coaster of hormones and emotions, and help you transition into your new life and new role as a parent.

Parents who are expecting a child often have concerns about:
  • Fearing the unknown, of how much life will change
  • Being a good enough parent
  • Shifting roles and identities
  • Feelings of ambivalence about becoming a parent
  • Questions about how to parent
  • Concerns about financial planning, childcare, career decisions
  • Maintaining intimacy and connection with your partner, family and friends
  • Navigating potentially difficult family dynamics
