Therapists you can trust,
because they’ve been there.

    Our therapists & perinatal counselor are trained to work with those struggling with becoming a new parent, and many of our perinatal counselor are parents themselves. We want people to feel comfortable and feel they can talk openly about these issues without being judged. We will work together to determine issues and concerns, and get clear about how therapy can best help you feel better. A big part of therapy is working on emotional regulation, as well as building coping strategies
