We Offer Individual Counseling and Therapy For:

  • Prenatal and Postpartum Depression

  • Prenatal and Postpartum Anxiety

  • Prenatal and Postpartum OCD

 

Learning of a pregnancy can mark the beginning of a significant life transition. Whether that pregnancy is planned or unplanned, complicated or problem-free, ends in a live birth or not, many individuals can find themselves in need of additional support.

Delivery, adjustment to an infant’s demands, assumption of new roles, and impact on identity and relationships can further contribute to felt stress. In response to this need, we have clinicians who specialize in caring for individuals during the time of pregnancy through 2-3 years postpartum. These clinicians can address the following concerns: grief and loss, adjustment or relationship problems, anxiety, depression, traumatic experience(s), and OCD.

Depending on areas of need and clinician’s expertise, they can provide evidence-based treatments such as Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
