Pregnancy Therapy in Los Angeles, CA
Emotional support for pregnancy and your journey to motherhood.
Therapy for Expecting Moms
Pregnancy can bring a lot of feelings. Excitement, hope, anxiety, uncertainty…You might be looking forward to having your baby while worrying about birth, anxious about loss, wondering how your life will change, or struggling to feel connected to baby.
If you've experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, or a long journey to conception, pregnancy may feel especially complex. You may find yourself feeling anxious or like it’s not real. This can be a protective mechanism, and it makes sense.
Two things can be true at the same time. You can feel grateful and overwhelmed. You can want to become a mother and still feel scared about what’s coming. At Authentic LA Therapy, I provide pregnancy therapy for women to process these emotions and feel supported as they prepare for motherhood.
Do I need therapy during pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a big life transition. You’re experiencing so much change in such a short time, expectations, anticipation, and a million things to do. It can be a lot! You deserve support and space to just be. Giving yourself time to reflect on the mother you want to be, your needs, and expectations can help a smooth transition.
Pregnancy therapy can give you space to explore…
Anxiety around pregnancy and birth
Feelings around becoming a parent and what kind of parent you want to be
Previous infertility, pregnancy loss, or any other steps along the journey
Changes in your relationships
How can therapy during pregnancy help?
I find that therapy during pregnancy offers a space to focus on you when so much is focused on baby and to help navigate this transition mindfully.
In pregnancy therapy I often focus on…
Practicing stress management techniques
Emotional processing of past experiences around fertility and pregnancy
Emotionally preparing for stages of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
Creating a postpartum support plan
