Perinatal & Postpartum Support

Perinatal & Postpartum Support: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Bringing a baby into the world is life-changing. While this season is often painted as joyful and exciting, it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or just feeling like yourself, you’re not alone.

At Wellnest Counseling, we provide compassionate, judgment-free support to help you navigate the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum.

How We Help

Perinatal and postpartum therapy supports parents experiencing:

  • Prenatal & postpartum anxiety – Racing thoughts, excessive worry, or feeling constantly on edge.

  • Prenatal & postpartum depression – Mood swings, sadness, or a sense of emotional numbness.

  • Parenting stress & overwhelm – Struggling with sleep deprivation, identity shifts, or relationship changes.

  • Birth trauma & recovery – Processing difficult labor experiences or unexpected challenges.

  • Intrusive thoughts or fears – Scary thoughts that feel out of control, often leaving parents feeling guilty or ashamed.

  • Adjusting to new parenthood – Managing expectations, balancing responsibilities, and finding your new normal.

Dads and partners experience these challenges too! We provide support for anyone navigating the transition to parenthood.

Our Approach

We tailor therapy to meet your unique journey as a parent. Our approach includes:

  • Talk Therapy & Processing – A safe space to express fears, frustrations, and emotions without judgment.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping reframe negative thoughts and develop healthy coping skills.

  • Mindfulness & Stress-Reduction Techniques – Practical tools for managing overwhelm and staying present.

  • Parent Coaching & Guidance – Helping you feel confident in your parenting choices and family dynamics.

What to Expect in a Session

  • A supportive, welcoming environment where you can be real about how you’re feeling.

  • Therapeutic strategies designed to help you feel more balanced, calm, and in control.

  • Personalized support to fit your needs—whether you need space to process emotions or practical parenting guidance.

You Deserve Support, Too

Parenthood is beautiful, messy, and sometimes really hard. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy can help you feel like yourself again while giving you the tools to navigate this new chapter with confidence.
