Pregnancy isn’t always joyful—it can bring anxiety, grief, or emotional turmoil. Whether your pregnancy planned or unexpected, your mental health matters. We offer compassionate support for whatever you’re feeling—you’re not alone.

Let’s talk about mental health during pregnancy—

your well-being matters just as much as your baby’s.

Pregnancy involves dramatic hormonal shifts, identity changes, body image pressures, physical discomfort, and often disrupted sleep. It’s no surprise that this life stage can trigger or intensify emotional and psychological challenges.

Supporting your Mental Health in Pregnancy

If you’re pregnant and living with a mental health condition, you’re not alone—and you’re not starting from scratch. Pregnancy can amplify symptoms, but with the right care, you can stay well. Many mental health medications are safe during pregnancy. We’re here to support you and your baby with thoughtful, personalized treatment.

It’s Okay If
It’s Not Magical

You can love your baby without loving pregnancy. If you’re feeling fear, frustration, or anything else, that’s valid. We offer a safe space to talk—no pressure, just honesty.

Support

You deserve informed, compassionate care. Whether you're navigating decisions, facing challenges, or simply seeking support—we’re here to prioritize your mental health and honor your voice.

Reclaiming
your Experience

If pregnancy has felt scary, confusing, or painful—we can help you reconnect with your strength and reclaim your voice. You are allowed to ask for help. You are allowed to feel conflicted. And you are still worthy of kindness and care.

Centering Yourself

Pregnancy isn’t just about the baby—your needs and emotions matter too. You deserve care that keeps you connected to your values, identity, and well-being.
Maternity Meditation Class

We provide compassionate care for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges during pregnancy. Seeking help doesn’t mean you’re not maternal—it means you’re human. We're here to support your well-being with therapy, medication guidance, and affirming care.
