Support for Every Stage of Your Journey into Parenthood
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring big changes — physically, emotionally, and mentally. While it can be a time of joy and excitement, it can also feel overwhelming, lonely, or uncertain. Many new or expecting parents experience mood changes, anxiety, or even depression, and wonder if what they’re feeling is “normal.”
You don’t have to go through this alone.
At our practice, you can work with Laura Yassky, our therapist specializing in perinatal counseling. Laura understands the unique challenges that come with fertility struggles, pregnancy, birth, and life after baby. She offers a safe, compassionate space where you can share openly, explore your emotions, and find strategies to cope and thrive during this important transition.
Why Seek Counseling During Pregnancy or Postpartum?
• Emotional Wellbeing: Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring unique emotional changes. You may experience heightened anxiety, sadness, or mood fluctuations. Counseling offers a safe space to process these feelings.
• Identity & Role Transitions: Becoming a parent often means redefining who you are and how you relate to others. Therapy helps you explore this new identity while staying grounded in your authentic self.
• Relationship Changes: Partnerships, family dynamics, and friendships can shift during this time. Counseling provides tools to strengthen communication and connection.
• Coping with Challenges: From fertility struggles to traumatic birth experiences or postpartum depression and anxiety, therapy offers support and strategies for healing.
