Perinatal Mental Health

Nurturing Mental Wellness for Every Parent
Are you preparing for the beautiful journey of parenthood? Perhaps you need support during pregnancy, or maybe you're already experiencing the whirlwind of emotions that come with the early stages of parenthood. At Wishing Well Therapy, we understand that this can be an incredibly transformative and, at times, challenging period in your life. That's why we're here to offer you our specialized Perinatal Therapy program, designed to nurture your mental wellness every step of the way.

What is Perinatal Therapy?
Perinatal therapy is a branch of mental health care that focuses on supporting individuals and their partners during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Starting from conception through the first year of parenthood, this specialized therapy provides a safe and compassionate space for you to explore and navigate the unique emotional challenges that arise during this time.

Why is Perinatal Therapy Important?
It's no secret that pregnancy and early parenthood can bring a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from joy and excitement to anxiety and overwhelm. The hormonal changes, physical shifts, relationship adjustments, and societal pressures can all contribute to feelings of stress, depression, loneliness, and even guilt. By seeking perinatal therapy, you can gain valuable tools to cope with these challenges and ensure your mental well-being is nurtured throughout this transformative journey.
