Your well-being matters as much as the roles you play
Pregnancy is a transformative journey, but it’s not always straightforward. From the moment you discover you’re expecting, life can feel like a whirlwind of emotions, responsibilities, and physical changes. It’s not just about excitement or uncertainty—pregnancy often brings a mix of highs and lows that can feel overwhelming and exhausting.
If you’re navigating these challenges, you’re not alone. Many pregnant women grapple with anxiety, mood changes, relationship dynamics, and the pressure to prepare for motherhood while caring for themselves. The good news? Support is available, and pregnancy therapy can help you navigate this unique stage of life with confidence and clarity.
Have you been:
- Feeling anxious, sad, or emotionally overwhelmed?
- Struggling to balance the physical demands of pregnancy with your daily responsibilities?
- Experiencing mood swings or moments of feeling on edge?
- Facing challenges in your relationship with your partner or family?
- Worrying about your ability to handle motherhood or the changes ahead?
- Feeling guilt, shame, or uncertainty about your pregnancy experience?
- Avoiding social situations or finding it hard to ask for help?
Pregnancy therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings, manage stress, and prepare emotionally for the arrival of your baby. With the right guidance and tools, you can nurture your mental health and embrace this life-changing journey with greater resilience and peace of mind.

Care Tailored To Your Needs
Sessions are typically 45-55 minutes long and done from the comfort of your own home. Our therapists are comfortable discussing all things all things parenting young toddlers and children, managing multiple kids, mental health, and more. Our first session will discuss how you have been feeling lately, and we will learn a little more about you. We will then work together to create a plan to help you start feeling better. You are welcome to have your baby with you during your session.
