Motherhood can be amazing.
When it isn't, we're here to help.
Pregnancy Anxiety
The journey to motherhood begins long before birth and for many, long before pregnancy. Issues with fertility, relationships, housing and work can cause stress for many couples trying to conceive, and, once pregnant, many expectant parents worry about the unborn child and parenthood in general. Unsurprisingly, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles are very common during this time. Learn more about how therapy can help you (and your partner) cope with pregnancy fears, communicate your needs and feelings, and find joy in preparing for parenthood.
Birth Trauma
For many, just the thought of giving birth conjures up feelings of fear and worry. If you are currently preparing for birth, therapy can be a vital aid to support you mentally and emotionally and ensure you are in the best frame of mind possible for welcoming your child. If you have already given birth and found the experience distressing or traumatic, therapy can help resolve some of the emotional and mental burden you might be carrying. Learn more about how therapy can prepare you for birth or allow you to move on from a negative experience in a positive way.
Postpartum Care
After birth, almost every woman experiences a period of intense emotions. Your body is recovering from pregnancy and childbirth, and caring for a newborn is exhausting. Therapy during this time can be a great tool to process your feelings, and is often employed in a preventative way to avoid a worsening of emotional instability. If intense and low moods persist, therapeutic support can help you unpack your triggers, explore psychological patterns and possible trauma, and create mental pathways that serve you better.
