Prenatal and Postpartum Therapy
Pregnancy and motherhood bring profound physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Many women experience anxiety, mood shifts, grief, and identity challenges both during pregnancy (prenatal) and after childbirth (postpartum). At Rising Roots Psychotherapy, we offer compassionate online therapy tailored to support women throughout these unique phases.
About Rising Roots Psychotherapy
Our therapy supports you through prenatal challenges such as anxiety, grief related to pregnancy loss or trauma, and preparation for childbirth. Postpartum therapy focuses on helping you navigate mood changes, postpartum depression, anxiety, or rage, the demands of new motherhood, and shifts in your sense of self.
With a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, we provide a safe space to process difficult emotions, build resilience, and nurture your mental health. Whether you’re seeking support for prenatal stress or postpartum adjustment, our virtual sessions make it easy and comfortable to receive care from your home.
You don’t have to face these changes alone — we’re here to support you through pregnancy and beyond.
