therapy for miscarriage & baby loss in kansas & missouri

You never thought this would be part of your story. You imagined holding your baby, not grieving them.

People don’t know what to say.
Or worse, they say the most well-meaning, sunshine-wrapped garbage:

  • "At least it was early."
  • "Everything happens for a reason."
  • "You can always try again."

But this pain doesn’t have a timeline. This kind of loss isn’t something you just “get over.”

Whether you experienced a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, TFMR, or the devastating loss of a newborn — you’re carrying a kind of grief that few truly understand. (& that’s beyond annoying to hear.)

You’ve lost the future you imagined.

The baby you loved.

The version of you who believed things like this only happened to other people.

The innocence that cracked wide open when the unthinkable became your reality.

And now? You might feel:
  • Numb, detached, or like you’re floating through life
  • Crushed by waves of anger, shame, or sadness that come out of nowhere
  • Avoiding friends who are pregnant or holding babies (and then judging yourself for it)
  • Unsure how to talk to your partner — or how to explain that intimacy feels different now
  • Like your body failed you — & you’re not sure you trust it anymore
  • Pressured to “be okay” when you're still bleeding, inside or out

This grief deserves to be witnessed. You deserve to be witnessed.

And all of this?
Still happens while life just . . . keeps going.
It’s maddening. & it’s lonely.

At Holding New Therapy, we’re not here to rush you toward “closure”. (What even is that?)

We’ll sit with you in the messy middle, a place to:
  • say your baby’s name (if you have one)
  • speak your grief honestly, without being rushed or silenced
  • honor your experience — whether it was a few weeks ago or many years ago
  • begin healing in a way that fits you, not what others expect

We understand how complicated this grief can be. Some days you may want to talk about it. Some days you may not.

Both are welcome here.


  • Make sense of what happened—without minimizing or spiritualizing it
  • Rebuild trust in your body & your story (& maybe your ability to keep going)
  • Navigate anniversaries, due dates, baby showers, pregnancy announcements, & medical trauma
  • Find new ways to connect with your partner or support system
  • Carry your grief without letting it swallow who you are becoming

Let’s be clear:
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means learning to live alongside your love & your loss.

Let’s honor who & what was lost — & what still lives in you.
