Our Approach to Perinatal
Mental Health Support
We approach perinatal therapy with deep respect for your lived experience. You are the expert in your own life. We’re here to walk alongside you offering support, tools, and a non-judgmental space to process whatever’s coming up.

Our work draws from:
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To support you in making space for difficult feelings while aligning with your values.
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): To explore and care for the parts of you that may be feeling overwhelmed, scared, or stuck.
  • Motivational Interviewing: To empower you in making choices that feel right for you and your family.
  • And more.
 
We also weave in psychoeducation and practical strategies for coping with stress, improving sleep and communication, and building secure attachment with your baby if that’s part of your focus.
You Deserve Support.
The perinatal period can be intense physically, emotionally, and relationally. We believe you deserve to feel seen, supported, and empowered during this time.

If you're not feeling like yourself, or just need a space to exhale, we’re here.

Book a free consultation to learn more about how we can support you, or reach out with any questions. We’re glad you’re here.
