Perinatal Mental Health

Bringing a child into the world is often described as one of life’s most joyful milestones. But the truth is, becoming a parent can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. Many parents experience mood swings, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or postpartum depression — sometimes weeks or months after delivery.

For others, the challenges come before pregnancy. Struggling with infertility, facing repeated losses, or exploring adoption, surrogacy, or other family-building options can bring complicated emotions, grief, and uncertainty.

If this sounds familiar, please know: you are not alone, and help is available.

At New Prospects Counseling Services, we specialize in perinatal mental health therapy. Our compassionate counselors provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk about the emotional ups and downs of trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

We can help if you are experiencing:

• Infertility-related stress, grief, or decision fatigue

• Pregnancy anxiety or panic attacks

• Postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety

• Birth trauma or distressing delivery memories

• Grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss

• Overwhelm, irritability, or feeling unlike yourself

Through therapy, you can learn strategies to manage stress, process your emotions, and reconnect with yourself as you adjust to parenthood — or as you work through the process of building your family in whatever way is right for you.

If you are navigating infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum struggles, reach out today. Call or email New Prospects Counseling Services to schedule a session with a therapist who understands perinatal and reproductive mental health.
