Maternal Mental Health Therapy in Richmond, Williamsburg, Newport News, and Virtually Throughout Virginia
Less surviving, more thriving.
You’ve read the books, attended countless appointments, prepared everything you could, and finally your baby is here. But somehow the joy you expected is not what you are feeling.
You may be asking yourself:
- Why am I so irritable, overwhelmed, and exhausted?
- Why can’t I keep it together like other moms seem to?
- I love my child. Why do I feel so miserable?
- I am so blessed. I should be grateful. Why does it feel like this?
- Why does no one understand what I am going through?
You aren’t alone. And this isn’t your fault.
What We Help With
Becoming a mother is one of life’s most significant transitions. The emotional experiences that come with it, including feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, anxious, or even angry during pregnancy and postpartum, are common. They’re also treatable.
We support mothers and partners experiencing:
- Postpartum depression and anxiety
- Pregnancy-related anxiety and depression
- Postpartum rage or irritability
- Birth trauma
- Grief following pregnancy loss or infertility
- Identity shifts and relationship changes in early parenthood
- The emotional weight of returning to work and balancing career and family
Our Approach
Our therapists come alongside mothers with compassion and without judgment. We draw on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy, tailoring the work to where you are and what you need most. Whether that means building practical tools for anxiety and overwhelm or exploring the deeper patterns shaping your experience of motherhood, we help you find fulfillment and connection in this season of life.
