Intensive therapy for deep healing

Therapy for Pregnancy and Post-Partum Concerns

Societal norms tend to portray pregnancy and motherhood as 

unquestionably blissful experiences for women.  However, it can be common for women to struggle through periods of adjustment as they move into this new role.  Pregnancy and motherhood can be stressful and overwhelming.  Complications and losses can arise that cause additional stress, grief, and confusion.  Therapy can offer support and new skills to help ease the transition into motherhood.

Counseling for Miscarriage, Therapy for Post-Partum Depression and Anxiety
Perinatal mood disorders are common and treatable

- C.S. Lewis

While it is normal to face mild mood changes following the birth of a child, 15% to 20% of women develop more serious symptoms of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, or OCD.  These symptoms can arise at any point during pregnancy or within a year of delivery.  If you are struggling, know that it is not your fault.  Know that with skilled treatment, symptoms will significantly improve, and you will fully recover.

> Overwhelming emotions such as sadness, anxiety, anger, or hopelessness
