Prenatal Therapy

Unexpected experiences and feelings can come during your reproductive journey. I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggle. This time of life can be extremely isolating and emotionally draining.  It can be met with feelings of uncertainty, low confidence, fear, sadness, guilt, jealousy, emotional activation, and feeling out of control. 

If you experienced a previous loss, you may feel anxious about the continued viability of a subsequent pregnancy. 

There can be so much loss leading up to the decision to use medical assistance with the hope of becoming pregnant.  Then, the challenges of the process can be so daunting, making this chapter confusing, uncertain and all-encompassing.

You may worry if you will ever become a parent.

You may have experienced a former birth or medical event that was traumatic or not what you expected.

If you have a younger child, you may worry about how you will navigate being a parent of an infant, too.  

You may have a child but are having trouble conceiving again.

You may be concerned about your changing relationships with your partner, family, friends and work life. 

You may have worries about birth or becoming a first-time parent.

You may have sensitivity to your changing body. 

You may have a medical condition that scares you. 

You may be using a surrogate and feel worried about the process.

If this pregnancy is unplanned or unwanted, you may wonder about continuing with the pregnancy or what to do.

You may be faced with whether to terminate a pregnancy due to medical reasons (TFMR). You may have experienced this and carry feelings of guilt and pain.

You may have other stressors in life; work issues, aging parents, a loved one's medical situation, other losses, current world events and more.

What you are experiencing is not your fault. You deserve support navigating this chapter of life.

During therapy, we unpack the underlying sources of how you are feeling and begin to make sense of your experience. We navigate how to cope, care for symptoms, and you. Eventually, clients begin to feel some relief and increased calm as they progress in life.

Let’s work together so you feel more calm, confident, connected, and prepared in your life.
