perinatal-informed
therapy
Support for the full arc of motherhood—from preconception to postpartum and beyond.
It doesn’t begin at the baby’s birth and it certainly doesn’t end at the 6-week checkup.
The perinatal period is a time of enormous change, and yet it’s often overlooked or minimized. The grief of fertility struggles, the trauma of medical interventions, the identity confusion in postpartum, the resentment or rage that no one talks about—all of this lives in the body, the nervous system, and the psyche.
Perinatal therapy offers a space to pause, feel, grieve, integrate, and reclaim your voice. Because birth isn’t the only beginning that matters—and the path to becoming a parent isn’t always linear or joyful.
Motherhood is a profound transformation. psychologically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
