Pregnancy & Postpartum

You Deserve Support, Too.

Pregnancy and postpartum are often described as joyful—and while that may be true, they can also bring anxiety, mood changes, identity shifts, and overwhelm that are rarely talked about. Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, prenatal anxiety, postpartum depression, or simply adjusting to life as a parent, you don’t have to do it alone.

At GC Counseling, we provide compassionate, nonjudgmental therapy for individuals in all stages of the perinatal journey—from preconception to the first years of parenthood. Our goal is to support you, not just the role you're stepping into.

Common Reasons People Seek Perinatal Therapy

Prenatal anxiety or depression
Postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety (PPA/PPD)
Birth trauma or traumatic medical experiences
Stress related to fertility, IVF, or miscarriage
Grief after pregnancy loss or infant loss
Identity shifts, relationship strain, or caregiver burnout
Feelings of guilt, shame, or “not being a good enough parent”
Difficulty bonding or adjusting after baby is born

These experiences are far more common than many people realize—and they don’t mean you’re failing. Therapy is a space to feel seen, supported, and held through it all.

How Therapy Can Help

Our therapists provide a safe, validating space to:

Process the emotional changes of pregnancy and new parenthood
Learn tools for managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or low mood
Navigate relationship dynamics and shifting roles
Explore identity, grief, body image, and expectations
Normalize your experience and release shame or guilt
Build coping strategies and reconnect with your inner strength

We use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care—all tailored to your needs and pace. Babies are welcome in postpartum sessions when needed.
