What is pregnancy counseling?
Pregnancy counseling is a supportive form of therapy designed to help women and families navigate the emotional, mental, and relational changes that come with pregnancy. Whether your pregnancy was planned or unexpected, this stage of life can stir up excitement, uncertainty, stress, or even deep anxiety.
At Matrescence Therapy, our pregnancy counseling in Chicago provides a safe space to process these emotions. We focus on your unique journey, validating both your joys and struggles, and equipping you with practical tools for coping and thriving during this important stage.
Do you offer counseling for unplanned pregnancies?
Yes. Discovering an unplanned pregnancy can bring up overwhelming feelings—fear, confusion, or even grief for the future you thought you’d have. Our therapists in Chicago offer compassionate pregnancy counseling for individuals navigating these decisions and emotions.
Whether you’re considering your options, working through family dynamics, or needing a nonjudgmental listener, pregnancy counseling in Chicago provides a place for clarity and emotional support. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
Mental Health Support During Pregnancy
Our therapists provide mental health support tailored to the unique challenges of pregnancy. We serve clients across Chicago—including the North Side, Wicker Park, and nearby neighborhoods—both in person and virtually. Pregnancy counseling in Chicago can help you feel supported, grounded, and prepared for this new chapter.
Can I receive mental health support during pregnancy in Chicago?
Absolutely. Pregnancy brings major physical and hormonal changes, but it also deeply affects your emotional well-being. It’s normal to feel anxious, stressed, or uncertain. Many expectant parents also worry about labor, parenting readiness, or balancing family and career.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide pregnancy counseling for anxiety or depression?
Yes. Anxiety and depression are among the most common mental health challenges during pregnancy. Some people experience intense mood swings, intrusive worries, or feelings of sadness that don’t go away.
Is pregnancy counseling covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes. Most health insurance plans cover mental health services, including pregnancy counseling. At Matrescence Therapy, we can help you verify your benefits and understand coverage before starting sessions. If you prefer, we also offer private-pay options and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
