Pregnancy and postpartum therapy

Pregnancy & Postpartum Support in Marietta, Roswell, and Atlanta

The transition to parenthood can bring unexpected emotional challenges. Our therapists provide compassionate, specialized support for perinatal mood disorders and the complex feelings that accompany pregnancy and postpartum life.

Understanding Perinatal Mental Health

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth, affecting up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men. These conditions go far beyond the "baby blues" and can include postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD from birth trauma, and in rare cases, psychosis. They can emerge during pregnancy or anytime in the first year after delivery.

Many new parents suffer in silence, believing they should feel happy or grateful and something is wrong with them for struggling. The truth is that perinatal mood disorders are medical conditions caused by a combination of hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, life changes, and sometimes pre-existing vulnerabilities. They are not your fault, and they are highly treatable.

Our therapists understand the unique pressures of new parenthood and provide a judgment-free space where you can be honest about your experience. Whether you're struggling during pregnancy, in the early weeks postpartum, or months after delivery, getting support is an act of strength for both you and your family.

Signs You May Need Support

Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or emotional numbness after birth
Anxiety or intrusive thoughts about your baby's safety
Difficulty bonding with your newborn
Overwhelming guilt or feelings of inadequacy as a parent
Panic attacks, racing heart, or inability to relax
Mood swings, irritability, or rage that feel out of character
Anxiety or depression during pregnancy (prenatal mood disorders)
Traumatic birth experience or fear of delivery

Our Treatment Approach

Perinatal-Specific CBT & Support

We use evidence-based approaches specifically adapted for perinatal populations. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps address intrusive thoughts, anxiety spirals, and the negative self-talk that often accompanies postpartum mood disorders.

Birth Trauma Processing

If your birth experience was traumatic, we provide specialized support to process what happened. Using EMDR and somatic approaches, we help your nervous system move beyond the trauma so you can be present with your baby and yourself.

Attachment & Bonding Support

Difficulty bonding with your baby is a common and treatable symptom of perinatal mood disorders. We provide gentle, practical strategies to strengthen the parent-child attachment while addressing the underlying mood or anxiety condition.
