Thinking about becoming pregnant is deeply personal and emotional. You might feel hopeful, uncertain, or overwhelmed. Whether you're actively planning to conceive, thinking about the future, or weighing whether parenthood is right for you, you deserve care that centers your mind as much as your body.
“Everyone talks about folic acid and fertility, but no one talks about therapy or trauma.”
“I’m on psych meds and don’t know if it’s safe to stay on them.”
“I’m afraid pregnancy will make my anxiety worse—but I really want to be a parent.”
“What if I’m not mentally strong enough to be a mom?”
Let’s talk about mental health and pregnancy planning.
Family planning isn’t just about ovulation, labs, and supplements — it’s also about preparing your emotional landscape. Whether or not you’ve been diagnosed with a mental health condition, this can be a time of uncertainty, hope, pressure, or reflection.
Now is the time to check in with yourself — your values, your support system, and how you want to feel as you step into this next chapter.

Pregnancy planning provides an ideal window to optimize medication safety, reduce relapse risk, and strengthen emotional resilience.
Some medications can be continued safely during pregnancy, and others may be adjusted ahead of time — we're here to walk with you through those choices.
Balancing Hope & Honesty
You don’t have to be “perfect” to be ready. It’s okay to feel both excited and scared. Hope and honesty can coexist. You might be looking forward to parenthood while also grieving a past loss, processing uncertainty, or navigating doubts. That doesn’t make your hope any less valid — it makes it real.. There’s room in this process for joy, ambivalence, healing, and everything in between...
Permission to Pause and Reflect
There’s no one timeline or "right way" to prepare for pregnancy. We offer space to reflect, ask questions, and explore what feels right for you—at your own pace.
Planning with a Mental Health History
If you live with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, or another condition, preparing for pregnancy is not only possible—it’s an opportunity to build a stronger, more supported foundation for the journey ahead.
Trusting Yourself
You may be gathering expert opinions, reading every article, and asking trusted people for advice— but in the end, your instincts still matter most. We help you tune into your own voice, so you can move forward with confidence and self-trust.
Informed, Supported Choices
Whether you decide to try, wait, or choose another path, we’re here to support your autonomy. What matters most is that you feel heard, cared for, and empowered in your decision.
We offer care grounded in science, compassion, and your values — supporting you in defining stability, exploring options, and planning for pregnancy with confidence.
Wherever you are on the path, we’re here to help you feel emotionally prepared and informed to align with what’s right for you - so you can move forward with greater self-trust and less self-doubt.
