Maternal Mental Health & Wellness
Specialized therapy that supports the overall health of every Mom.
The maternal period (sometimes called perinatal period) refers to the time during pregnancy and the first year after baby. This time is often joyful and exciting, but can be difficult and overwhelming for a variety of reasons. Major life change and transition, body changes during and after pregnancy, sleep issues, loss of personal identity, postpartum depression, or postpartum anxiety can all effect how you experience the the maternal period.
After the first year things may be get better, but you still may have periods of struggle. Continued stress of raising a child, managing a household, working, finding your identity after baby, or being comfortable in your body can all take a toll. This is why we talk about maternal health as health for every mom, not just new moms.
Through specialized treatment, counseling can help you navigate the difficult thoughts, fears, guilt, or body changes you may be experiencing. With the right support you can fully enjoy motherhood and create a life that is manageable and fun.
