“Exhausted” doesn’t even begin to describe how worn you feel.
The quiet grief, the recurring “what-ifs,” the flashbacks from birth trauma, or the overwhelm of juggling medical appointments, expectations, and daily care can make it feel impossible to rest, even for a moment.
MAYBE YOU'VE ALSO BEEN...
This tiredness doesn’t define you. It’s a sign your nervous system, heart, & mind are asking for care that sees you.
YOU’VE HELD IT TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH.
Does this sound like you?
- crying in the Target parking lot because the overwhelm snuck up out of nowhere & the car seat won’t click in right
- lying awake at 3 a.m., Googling “postpartum rage” while everyone else sleeps peacefully
- silently wondering if you’re the only one not loving this stage of life
- feeling like you're one tantrum or spilled bottle away from falling apart
- nodding & smiling when people say “You must be so happy!” while grief, fear, or resentment bubble just below the surface
- second-guessing every decision, every feeling, & wondering if this level of worry is normal
- realizing that even though your baby is here (or not here), your heart hasn’t quite caught up
- carrying shame for how your story unfolded — whether it involved loss, abortion, infertility, or a birth experience gone wrong
Whether you need a postpartum anxiety therapist, therapy after baby loss, or support during pregnancy & beyond, we're here.
- Actually rest when you have the chance. Instead of folding laundry during nap time or mentally rewriting your to-do list at 2 a.m., you’ll have tools to calm your nervous system & turn the volume down on that relentless inner voice.
- Say what you need without blowing up or shutting down. Whether it’s your partner, co-parent, or family, we’ll work on ways to ask for help & set (& maintain!) boundaries before the resentment builds.
- Handle intrusive thoughts without panic. Instead of avoiding things, googling like it’s your job, or getting lost in thought tornadoes — you’ll learn how to say, “That’s just a thought, not a prediction.”
- Stop just surviving. You’ll feel more like yourself — calmer, more grounded, & able to enjoy moments with your loved ones (even when the house is messy and the baby won’t stop crying or your exhausted from endless negative pregnancy tests).
Perinatal Mental Health Is Our Specialty, Not Just a Service
reproductive mental health for all experiences, genders, cultures, & ethnicities
At Holding New Therapy, every session is focused on pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, loss, termination, & abortion. This is our full caseload, our full attention.
Our therapists stay current on perinatal research, evolving best practices, & reproductive rights, so your care is informed, culturally attuned, & politically aware.
We’ve walked with clients through NICU stays, birth trauma, miscarriage, postpartum anxiety, & quiet grief — & we don’t flinch. When your therapist truly understands what you’re facing, therapy hits differently.
We focus on the messiest, most misunderstood parts of reproductive care — so you get care that actually understands you.
Not all therapy is built for this.
frequently asked questions about reproductive mental health therapy
Do you only see pregnant & postpartum moms?
You no longer have to search "postpartum therapist near me" after bedtime — but it can be scary to commit.
Not sure if therapy is your next right step? Totally fair. Poke around. Read our story. Skim our values. Worst case? You get a little clarity at 2 a.m. Best case? You find a place that feels like exhale.
We’re not going anywhere. Take your time.
