Prenatal & Postpartum Therapy

Pregnancy and postpartum bring deep emotional changes. But for many mothers, instead of joy, it brings sadness, fear, or guilt. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process these feelings and find balance.

We help with:

  • Postpartum depression and anxiety

  • Birth trauma and pregnancy loss

  • Stress of adjusting to motherhood

  • Identity changes and family dynamics

Our approach includes:

  • EMDR for traumatic births

  • Maternal mental health expertise for perinatal mood disorders

  • Cultural sensitivity for Latina mothers balancing traditional expectations with personal struggles

  • Family involvement when helpful for the healing process

Examples: Sandra felt numb instead of joyful. Rebecca lived in dread of each day. Mary became overprotective after a traumatic birth. Each found strength and healing through therapy and compassionate support..
