Common Symptoms of Perinatal Mental Health Concerns
You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are incredibly common and treatable. Symptoms may include:
Frequent crying, sadness, or hopelessness
Feeling overwhelmed or out of control
Anxiety, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts
Difficulty bonding with your baby
Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Trouble sleeping (not related to newborn care)
Loss of appetite or overeating
Thoughts of self-harm or harm to others
These symptoms don’t have to be “severe” to be taken seriously. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally well.
t’s never too early—or too late—to reach out. Consider seeking therapy if:
You’re pregnant and feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected
You’re postpartum and struggling to feel like yourself
You’ve experienced pregnancy loss or infertility
You’re adjusting to a new identity as a parent
You feel triggered by your birth experience
You just need space to talk without judgment
No diagnosis is needed—only a willingness to explore how you’re feeling and what you need.
When Should I Seek Therapy?
Our sessions are grounded in trauma-informed care, built on trust, validation, and empowerment. Therapy with us might include:
Exploring your story and values in a supportive space
Gaining tools to manage anxiety, overwhelm, or guilt
Processing birth trauma or parenting challenges
Identifying triggers and nervous system regulation techniques
Reconnecting with your identity outside of motherhood
We tailor therapy to your needs, using approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, mindfulness, and compassion-based strategies.
