Perinatal mental health support

Becoming a parent is one of the most significant transitions in life. It's a time of joy and excitement, but it can also feel overwhelming. If you’re struggling to manage your thoughts and emotions, or if something just doesn’t feel right, you’re not alone. 

Perinatal mental health challenges are more common than many realize. Whether you are preparing to welcome a new baby or managing the early months of parenthood, it’s natural to experience difficult feelings along the way.

At Pear Tree Therapy, I’m here to support you in this life-changing path.

What Is Perinatal Mental Health?

Perinatal mental health includes the emotional challenges and mental health struggles that can arise during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. These challenges can look different for everyone. 

You might feel overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with mood swings, or questioning whether you’re doing things “right.”

For some, past traumas or complicated pregnancies can add layers of difficulty that make perinatal mental health even more challenging. 

Adjusting to the immense changes of parenthood is a complex emotional experience. It’s normal to feel both joy and worry, but sometimes the worries and stress can become too much. 

Experiencing perinatal mental health struggles can feel isolating, but there’s no shame in seeking help. Therapy offers a safe and confidential space where you can express your emotions, challenges, and fears freely.

Seeking support for perinatal mental health can offer the understanding and tools you need to feel confident and supported.

It’s important to acknowledge that your mental well-being is just as important as your physical health during this time.

Therapy helps you:

  • Address difficult emotions that may surface during pregnancy or after the birth of your baby.

  • Process past trauma that could be impacting your mental health.

  • Build healthy coping strategies for when feelings of stress, anxiety, or overwhelm take hold.

  • Strengthen your relationship with your partner and support network during this transition.

No matter how you’re feeling, therapy for perinatal mental health can offer tools, understanding, and compassion to guide you through this time.
