- Be grieving a baby you never got to hold — after miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or chemical pregnancy
- Feel so anxious or disconnected after giving birth when everyone says it should be a joyful time
- Make a decision to end a very wanted pregnancy, then return to a world that expects you to carry on like nothing happened
- Be told again and again that “your labs look fine”, while your heart breaks month after month trying to conceive
- Be praised for “staying strong” while secretly unraveling inside, feeling helpless and shut out from your partner
- Experience deep shame for not loving the early days of parenthood, while scrolling past people who seem to be thriving
- Struggle with bonding, feeding, or identity while adjusting to life postpartum
- Have an abortion and feel relief, rage, or all of it at once — as you navigate a world that won’t let you talk about it
- Dread the sound of your baby’s cry, because you’re running on fumes and still bleeding, and everyone keeps asking if you’re “so in love”
- Feel touched out, like a stranger in your own body
- Question whether you can or should try again after loss, trauma, or medical complications
- Parent through adoption or fostering, navigating layered grief and isolation
You never expected to:
It wasn't supposed to be like . . . this
You’ve probably tried everything to feel better.
Talking to friends, journaling, getting outside, taking the right supplements, reading all the books. And maybe those things helped, a little. But the weight is still there.
Because what you’re carrying isn’t just stress — it’s a rupture in how you understand yourself, your body, your fertility, your story.
What happened to you lives within you, not just your mind. That’s why this work goes deeper than talking about it. It’s about creating safety again — on a nervous system level. It’s about grieving what didn’t happen, making space for what did, and slowly reclaiming a sense of trust and connection with this new you.
If that’s the kind of care you’ve been looking for, you’re in the right place.

Perinatal Mental Health Is Our Specialty, Not Just a Service
Every therapist at Holding New Therapy is exclusively trained in the layers of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, loss, & abortion. That’s our whole caseload. It’s our full attention.
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. Instead, we’re committed to being exceptional at this.
By staying current on perinatal-specific trainings, evolving best practices, & the legislation shaping reproductive rights in real time, we achieve that. Any session at Holding New Therapy is politically & socioculturally attuned to what our clients are up against.
Because not all therapy is built for this.
We’ve walked with people through NICU stays, birth trauma, miscarriage, scary thoughts they swore they’d never say out loud, & quiet grief that no one at the baby shower could see. & we don’t flinch.
Because when your therapist actually understands why you're spiraling after your OB dismissed your concerns . . . or knows what it means to track your cycle like it’s a second job . . . or understands the complicated grief of making a choice you never thought you’d face — that’s when therapy hits differently.
Our therapists aren’t generalists. Perinatal mental health isn’t just a bullet point on our PsychologyToday profile. We’ve narrowed our focus on purpose. & when all you do is hold space for the messiest & most misunderstood parts of reproductive care — you get really freaking good at it.
Our therapists aren't generalists.
Why Choose a Therapist Who solely focuses on pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, abortion, & loss?
whether you're looking for a postpartum anxiety therapist or therapy after baby loss, we're here.
This season can gut you.
You need someone who has dusted every corner of the reproductive journey: postpartum anxiety that won’t let you sleep even when baby does, the quiet ache after pregnancy loss, the stigma after an abortion, the rage no one warned you about, the identity freefall that comes with new parenthood, or the constant crying during pregnancy.
At Holding New Therapy, we offer infertility counseling, therapy for postpartum depression and perinatal OCD, support after abortion, and space to fall apart after a traumatic birth experience without judgment.
You bring the truth. We’ll bring the training.
