Perinatal Therapy

We understand that pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period can be vulnerable and overwhelming times. Our team of therapists at Treehaven Counseling is here to provide you with the guidance and support you need.

Whether you’re experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, depression or simply feeling overwhelmed, our therapists at Treehaven Counseling are here to help you navigate issues related to pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum mood disorders, labor and delivery, and breastfeeding.

Having a child is a life-changing event – one that can bring up intense emotions, cause major changes in hormones, and potentially lead to anxiety or depression. Perinatal therapy is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy specifically designed to meet the unique needs of pregnant women and new mothers, providing support during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and beyond.

Aside from the significant life changes occurring, hormones and biology also play a role in pregnancy and postpartum emotions. Our therapists are able to help you understand the impact of these biological factors on your mental health while providing evidence-based techniques to address any issues that may arise.

Therapy for new parents

Therapy for new parents is an important part of the pregnancy and postpartum process. Our therapists are compassionate, caring professionals who can provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your emotions, thought processes, and behaviors. We are here to listen, support and help you make sense of what is happening during this profound transition. Together, we can focus on developing practical strategies and learn how to cope with the everyday stressors that pregnancy and postpartum life can bring.

Therapy for pregnancy loss

Miscarriage and pregnancy loss can be devastating experiences, especially when it is unexpected. Our therapists provide a non-judgemental, empathetic environment where you can process your feelings of grief, guilt, anxiety, and/or depression. We are here to offer comfort and compassion throughout this difficult time as we help you make sense of your emotions and work toward healing.

Therapy for couples navigating this new dynamic

Bringing a baby into the world can also be a difficult transition for couples. It is not uncommon for couples to face new challenges or disagreements as pregnancy and postpartum life shift their dynamics. Our therapists are here to provide informed guidance as you both adjust to this new stage in your relationship. We offer a safe space where couples can openly discuss their feelings, practice effective communication strategies, and create a plan of action for how to best support one another through pregnancy and postpartum life.
