Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum

The newborn season is often expected to be a time of joy, but many women are instead met with debilitating uncertainty and emotional whirlwind. Accompanied with deep sleep deprivation, drastic change in hormones, and demands of a tiny baby, she may begin to feel irritable, alone or even lost. She may find herself wondering if she will ever be her self again.

One in 5 to 7 women may experience depression or anxiety during the perinatal period.

With the expertise and advanced training in perinatal mental health, we will work together to help you develop a set of concrete, evidence based tools and to regain your sense of self as you navigate this season with a new identity as a mom.

Therapy for Reproductive Loss

The words, "reproductive" and "loss" should never have to be used together to describe one's experience. This profound and complex journey may include miscarriage, stillbirth, Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR) and unsuccessful assisted reproduction.

Our trauma-informed grief counseling honors the intensity of her pain and the depth of the loss. We strive to provide a compassionate space for her to begin the healing journey.

Whether it is life style adjustment upon returning to work from parental leave, experiencing post-weaning symptoms, juggling two kids under three, perimenopause, or navigating through your child's adolescence, it is a season one can never be prepared for,

At Her Counseling for Women, our goal is to create a space for women to process her hopes and unexpected disappointments in this multi-faceted journey as a woman, in motherhood.
