Everyone talks about the glow, but no one tells you about the anxiety.

Pregnancy is often described as a magical time, but the reality can be far more complex. For many expecting parents, anxiety can cloud the experience – a constant undercurrent of “What if?” thoughts, racing worries about your baby’s health, or overwhelming guilt over feeling anything other than joy. You might catch yourself questioning everything, feeling disconnected, or fearing you won’t be a good enough parent. It can be an emotional storm, leaving you feeling isolated and ashamed for not feeling the way you think you’re “supposed to.”

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Therapy can be a safe space to share your fears without judgment, understand the roots of your anxiety, and build the tools to calm your mind and find peace during this significant journey. With the right support, you can reclaim your joy, confidence, and connection – for yourself and your growing family.

Get Started

Pregnancy anxiety is real, but so is support.

Anxiety during pregnancy isn’t just a passing worry — it can feel like a storm brewing just beneath the surface, a constant hum of fear that doesn’t go away even when everything seems fine. Maybe it starts with a fleeting thought, but before you know it, that thought spirals into a full-blown sense of dread. You might find yourself Googling every symptom, feeling overwhelmed by advice that contradicts itself, or secretly wondering if you’re already failing as a mom for not feeling pure joy every moment.

You might catch yourself thinking:

“What if something goes wrong during labor?”
“Am I already a bad mom for feeling this anxious?”
“Why don’t I feel happy all the time like everyone says I should?”
“What if I don’t bond with my baby?”
“Everyone else seems so calm — why can’t I be?”

In therapy, you don’t have to pretend everything is fine. It’s a space to share your fears without judgment, understand your anxious thoughts, and see that they’re a response to uncertainty, not a sign of weakness. Together, we’ll help you find calm and build self-compassion.

You can be excited and anxious at the same time. Therapy lets you say, “I’m scared,” and feel heard. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being present, trusting yourself, and navigating this journey with support.

Real support for the anxious thoughts no one else sees.

Talking about anxiety during pregnancy isn’t easy — but you don’t have to keep it all inside. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space where your most overwhelming thoughts and fears can be spoken out loud and truly heard. Here’s what you can expect:

Flexible sessions: Our 45–55 minute sessions are a place where you’re welcome exactly as you are. Whether you’re consumed with “what if” thoughts, constantly worried about your baby’s health, or feeling guilty for not being overjoyed all the time, you can be honest without fear.

Collaborative care: Anxiety during pregnancy is more than just “worrying too much.” Together, we’ll explore what’s triggering your anxiety, how it’s affecting your daily life, and how to manage it. This isn’t about telling you to “just relax” — it’s about giving you practical tools to find calm.

Therapists who truly understand: As moms, our therapists have extensive experience with the overwhelming anxiety of pregnancy. We don’t expect you to be happy all the time or to ignore your anxiety. Instead, we create a space where you can feel seen, process your fears, and build self-compassion.

Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to feel calm — it’s about giving yourself permission to feel everything and learning how to navigate it. With support, you can find moments of peace, reconnect with yourself, and experience pregnancy on your own terms.
