Pregnancy

Compassionate Care for Every Stage of Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of significant change—physically, emotionally, and mentally. At Althought Therapy, we provide comprehensive support throughout your pregnancy journey, offering therapy services that are tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re experiencing your first pregnancy, navigating unexpected emotions, or preparing for postpartum life, our licensed therapists are here to walk beside you with empathy, clarity, and expert guidance.

Our services are designed to meet you where you are—from conception through the fourth trimester. We believe in holistic, evidence-based care that nurtures both your mental and emotional health, and we collaborate with your OB-GYN, midwife, or birth team to ensure seamless support.

Schedule a Therapy Appointment

I offer therapy sessions both online and in person. Many of my clients opt for hybrid sessions, where we meet in person when it is convenient and fits into your schedule and we meet virtually or online for flexibility purposes. I also offer in-home sessions for individuals with disabilities, personal reasons, or for parents with young children.

Let’s take the first step in achieving your goals and gaining treatment support.

Pregnancy

Comprehensive Pregnancy & Prenatal Care

Pregnancy typically lasts about 40 weeks and includes three trimesters, each with unique milestones and emotional shifts. We support you through every phase—with prenatal counseling that includes mental health check‑ins, stress and anxiety management, and preparation for birth and postpartum life.

At Althought Therapy, we recognize that pregnancy is a time of profound physical, emotional, and psychological change. Our prenatal care sessions are designed not only to monitor well-being, but also to offer compassionate space for processing stress, mood fluctuations, anxiety, and the emotional complexities that often accompany this transformative journey.

We approach pregnancy care holistically—nurturing both mind and body through routines that promote resilience and balance. From prioritizing restorative sleep and gentle movement, to integrating emotional check-ins and mindful self-care, our goal is to help expectant parents feel grounded, supported, and mentally prepared for the transition to parenthood.

What We Offer

Prenatal Therapy & Emotional Wellness

We help you manage common challenges such as prenatal anxiety, mood swings, relationship shifts, and birth-related fears. Therapy sessions may include mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, and tools for self-compassion and communication.

Support for High-Risk or Complex Pregnancies

If you’re managing a high-risk pregnancy or navigating pregnancy-related health conditions (like gestational diabetes or hypertension), our therapists provide emotional support and stress-reduction strategies, while working closely with your medical providers.

Perinatal Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Some individuals may experience obsessive thoughts or engage in compulsive behaviors related to pregnancy or the baby. These symptoms can be distressing and impact daily functioning.

Grief & Loss Counseling

For those experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy termination, we offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process grief, cope with trauma, and begin healing with gentle guidance.

Birth & Postpartum Planning

Preparing for delivery and the postpartum period is part of our care model. We provide sessions to help you plan for birth preferences, understand changes to expect, and build a postpartum support system—including discussions about infant care, partner roles, and maternal identity.

Partner & Family Involvement

Partners are welcome in therapy sessions. We provide tools to improve communication, co-parenting dynamics, and shared birth planning.

What You May Experience During Pregnancy
