The loss of a desired child at any time during pregnancy can be a devistating loss and a profound challenge. Psychotherapy can provide a safe place to discuss and explore your emotions and grief. Learning how to cope is different for every person and family member affected by loss.

Postpartum depression is more than the stress of becoming a new parent. This monumental transition into parenthood can awaken far more than new responsibilities, and the postpartum period may stir earlier life experiences, including attachment trauma, emotional overwhelm, and grief while also reshaping identity and relationships. As a parent, your own imprints may be activated with the news of pregnancy or upon the arrival of your little one.
PPD is a real and treatable condition that can affect mood, identity, bonding and attachment with your baby, and even your sense of yourself. Drawing from somatic and pre/perinatal psychology, therapy provides a compassionate, trauma-informed space to support healing and bonding, nervous system regulation, and help you reconnect with yourself and your baby at a pace that feels safe. You will develop attunement abilities for the development of a secure foundation for you and your child. Couples welcome.

Catherine DeMonte, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA., LMFT
Parenting is a life transition that catapults us into a brand new life, leaving behind our former life forever! Who knew an 8 pound package would alter life so profoundly?! It's beautiful. AND it's difficult. It changes so much. It's good to have a place to talk about those changes and navigate the way through with someone who relates to this. It's a time that effects the couple dramatically and communication skills often are needed. Roles change, sex changes or disappears for a while, there's sleep deprivation and mood swings. Seeing someone in a safe, loving. nurturing environment can make all the difference in how we get through this time.
