Organizations like Postpartum Support International offer additional resources if you want to learn more between sessions.

Other Areas to Work on in Therapy
Managing Relationship Challenges
Motherhood can bring changes to relationships with partners, family, and friends. Therapy can help mothers navigate communication issues, strengthen bonds, and set healthy boundaries while adapting to their evolving roles.
Matrescence: Redefining Your Identity
Many mothers experience matrescence, the profound identity shift into motherhood, and struggle to maintain their sense of self while balancing the demands of caregiving. Therapy offers a space to explore personal goals, rediscover passions, and build self-esteem outside of the role of "mom."
Coping with Stress and Burnout
The demands of motherhood, especially for working moms and moms feeling overwhelmed, can lead to burnout. Therapy provides tools for stress management, mindfulness techniques, and emotional support to help mothers find balance and feel empowered in their journey.
The Benefits of Working with a Maternal Mental Health Therapist
Motherhood counseling offers a supportive space for mothers to navigate the challenges and complexities of their unique journeys, from perinatal mental health concerns to the everyday demands of caregiving. Whether you are dealing with the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum struggles, or the pressures of balancing work and family life, therapy provides the opportunity to process your feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.
By addressing issues like stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, mothers can develop healthier coping strategies and build resilience. This support helps enhance overall well-being, fostering greater confidence and fulfillment in their role as a caregiver.
Additionally, motherhood counseling empowers mothers to focus on their individual needs beyond the responsibilities of parenting. It can help you explore and rediscover your identity, manage relationship dynamics, and set healthy boundaries that prioritize your mental and emotional health. With guidance from a compassionate therapist, you can gain clarity, strengthen your communication skills, and create a more balanced, joyful life for yourself and your family.

Individual sessions range from $175 to $225. EMDR Intensives are billed at $225 per hour, which includes pre- and post-session support, so a 3-hour intensive (5 total hours with prep and integration) comes to $1,125, while a 2-hour intensive (4 total hours) comes to $900, with longer or shorter packages priced the same way. Many of our therapists are in-network with Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and we also accept private pay and can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
