Our therapists support individuals and couples throughout the reproductive spectrum: infertility and trying to conceive, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and the transition to parenthood.
Therapy is a collaborative process and our providers work with patients to create a plan that fits their values and goals. We create a supportive environment for clients, incorporating who you are as an individual with the environment in which you live, work, and interact with on a daily basis.
We know that the number one complication from childbirth is experiencing a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder – research has shown that there are critical points in the first year after bringing baby home, particularly at 1 month, 3-4 months, and 8-9 months postpartum. If your symptoms are interfering with how you take care of yourself and your family, or you just don’t feel like you and want to talk to someone, please reach out to schedule an initial consultation or a first appointment.
In this speciality, we used to talk about “postpartum” mood and anxiety disorders despite the fact that symptoms can and do occur prior in pregnancy, as well as the postpartum period. Around 2015, the language shifted to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD), to try and reflect a more holistic approach but our knowledge and experience continues to deepen. But it’s not just the gestational parent that struggles or that needs support – it’s also about supporting non-gestational parents and partners; it’s about supporting birth, foster, and adoptive parents; it’s about supporting those who have navigated loss and made the decision to live child-free or childless. It’s about the countless ways that we navigate the reproductive period and reproductive decisions in life, however that looks for a particular client or family. Our practice is named Reproductive Resilience to match our services: therapy that supports individuals across the reproductive spectrum.
Together we focus first on decreasing symptoms before addressing the underlying stressors that may have contributed to the pressures surrounding parenting including role transitions, past traumas or losses, and recognition of expectations vs reality.
