The journey through fertility challenges, pregnancy, new parenthood, and the years of parenting that follow can bring some of the most complex and unexpected emotional experiences of your life. Whether you are navigating the grief of infertility, the anxiety of pregnancy after loss, the disorientation of postpartum life, or the identity shifts that come with raising children, these experiences are rarely as seamless as they appear in other people’s lives. You do not have to move through any of it alone. We are here to walk this path with you, through the uncertainty, the grief, the hope, and every complicated feeling in between.

Protecting Your Mind Through the Process

Anxiety and depression are proven to interfere with fertility, so entering treatment can help you decrease your stress levels and fortify your resolve as you navigate this delicate process. We will always be honest with you, therapy will not manifest a positive pregnancy test, however it will make this difficult time more tolerable.

What Happens in Session?

Fluent in Your Experience

Feeling out of control and frustrated are common reactions to fertility issues, but you don’t have to struggle alone. Explaining the medical experience can be retraumatizing, we are fluent in the jargon and literature. Allow yourself to process your emotions and experiences while working towards a place of healing and integration.

“Take your life off hold. Give yourself permission to feel. Turn your pain into purpose.”

Postpartum & Parenting

Feeling the weight behind the joy

Feeling like you finally have your bundle of joy, but are not experiencing the joy? Becoming a mother can bring out a host of emotions that you never knew you were holding inside. Entering treatment can allow you to uncover, process, and explore these emotions as you embark on this life-changing journey.

When Parenting Feels Harder than expected

Parenting has never been harder. Many parents are so busy they don’t realize the effects of their stress. Postpartum mental health issues are often underreported and undertreated. This is a challenging time of life, but therapy can dramatically improve your emotional functioning and bonding with your child. Moms meet with our compassionate and supportive therapists on a weekly basis to work through the parenting issues that are holding you back from a healthy and secure relationship with your child and family.

“Therapy can dramatically improve your emotional functioning and your bond with your child.”
