Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy at Road to Wellness Therapy
Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood are often portrayed as joyful and instinctual-but for many people, this season can feel overwhelming, isolating, or emotionally confusing. At Road to Wellness Therapy, we offer specialized perinatal and postpartum therapy to support individuals and families through the complex emotional, physical, and psychological changes that come with pregnancy, birth, and life after delivery.
Whether you are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or navigating parenthood years later, you deserve compassionate, informed mental health care that meets you where you are.
What Is Perinatal and Postpartum Therapy?
Perinatal and postpartum therapy focuses on mental health support during:
- Preconception and fertility journeys
- Pregnancy (antenatal mental health)
- The postpartum period (including the first year and beyond)
- Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, or termination
- Birth trauma and medical trauma
- Adjustment to parenthood and identity changes
Our therapists understand that this period can activate past trauma, intensify anxiety or depression, and challenge relationships, identity, and self-worth. Therapy provides a space to process these experiences safely-without judgment, pressure, or toxic positivity.
Common Concerns We Support
We provide therapy for a wide range of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns, including:
- Postpartum depression (PPD)
- Postpartum anxiety and panic
- Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)
- Birth trauma and traumatic delivery experiences
- Pregnancy-related anxiety or intrusive thoughts
- Grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy loss
- Difficulty bonding or attachment concerns
- Identity shifts and loss of self
- Relationship stress and changes in partnership
- Feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy as a parent
If you find yourself thinking "I should be happier than I am" or "Something feels wrong but I can't explain it," you are not alone-and support can make a meaningful difference.
Our Trauma-Informed Approach
At Road to Wellness Therapy, our work is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and deeply human. We recognize that pregnancy and postpartum experiences do not happen in a vacuum-they are shaped by personal history, cultural expectations, systemic pressures, and prior trauma.
Our clinicians are trained in modalities that are especially effective for perinatal mental health, including:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Brainspotting
- Attachment-based therapy
We move at your pace, prioritize emotional safety, and tailor treatment to your unique needs-whether you're coping with daily overwhelm or healing from something that feels life-altering.
You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Struggling during pregnancy or postpartum does not mean you are failing-it means you are human. Support can help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident as you move through this chapter of life.
Perinatal and postpartum therapy can help you:
- Reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms
- Process traumatic or unexpected experiences
- Strengthen your relationship with yourself and others
- Rebuild trust in your body and emotions
- Feel more present and supported in parenthood
