Perinatal mental health focuses on supporting parents throughout the entirety of their fertility journey. The experience of becoming a parent can include challenges with fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, new parent stress and managing marriage after children. This time can be filled with a wide range of emotions, uncertainties and pressures. Whether you are coping with anxiety, lack of control or just feeling overwhelmed, therapy is here to support you in your journey.

Becoming a new parent can be filled with so many overwhelming emotions. It is hard to fully grasp the change and shift in identity that occurs after you become a parent. It can feel so challenging to not be able to have a sense of control over what you are experiencing and to have so many hopes and expectations before you took on your new role. Taking on the new identity of parent can take time to adjust to and it can feel scary and hard.We can support you in learning how to meet your partner

Anxiety can often feel like a spiral of thoughts that feel impossible to control. Often we ask questions that start with "What if," or "Should I..."

We will teach you to differentiate your anxiety from who you are and give you tools and skills through mindfulness techniques to check in with yourself when you begin to feel anxious.

Mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose in the exact moment of awareness you are experiencing. This is a powerful tool in regulating yourself and having a sense of noticing when you may be feeling strong emotions. Mindfulness is a practice and we often incorporate it into our therapy for skill building, relaxation and attunement to ourselves.
