The Importance Of Therapy During Pregnancy
Why Finding a Therapist for Pregnancy Can Be the Best Gift You Give Yourself (and Your Baby)
Because Sometimes, Pregnancy Sucks.
The emotional and mental changes that come with pregnancy are just as real as the physical ones. Hormones, body image shifts, sleep issues, relationship changes, anxiety about the future... it’s a lot. And it doesn’t always feel magical. It feels really isolating when no one around you seems to get how hard this is or how much you’re struggling.
That’s where therapy comes in.
As a therapist for pregnancy I am here to support you as you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of expecting a baby. Whether you’re struggling with prenatal anxiety, depression, or you just need a safe space to vent and figure things out—therapy gives you permission to prioritize yourself.
And yes, that matters. A lot.
You Deserve Support—Not Just a Birth Plan
So much of pregnancy is focused on the baby: the ultrasounds, the milestones, the registry. But who’s checking in on you? Who’s helping you process the identity shift, the pressure, the fear, the expectations?
As a pregnancy therapist, I work with moms-to-be who feel like they’re drowning in thoughts like:
“Why am I not more excited?”
“What if I’m not cut out for this?”
“How will I balance everything?”
“I feel so alone, even when I’m surrounded by people.”
If any of that resonates, therapy can help you feel seen again. Not just as a mom-to-be—but as a full human navigating a complex, emotional, and deeply personal journey.
Therapy During Pregnancy Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Lifeline
Taking care of your mental health during pregnancy isn’t selfish—it’s smart. It’s proactive. It’s giving your future self (and your future baby) a version of you who feels a little more grounded and a lot more supported.
You don’t need to wait until things fall apart to ask for help. You’re allowed to get support now—even if things look “fine” from the outside.
So if you're Googling “pregnancy therapist” or wondering if seeing a therapist for pregnancy is worth it, consider this your sign. You deserve a space to process, unload, and reconnect with yourself during this huge transition.
