Perinatal Individual Psychotherapy

In our sessions, we take a thoughtful psychodynamic approach to explore how your early relationships, experiences of loss, and past traumas can impact your emotional well-being, particularly in the present. By reflecting on these formative experiences, you can gain valuable insights into how they shape your current feelings and behaviors. Every pregnancy is a unique adventure, even for seasoned mothers! It's natural to encounter a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, anxiety, or even sadness—and each of these feelings is important to acknowledge and explore. Talk therapy provides a space for you to process and understand this emotional landscape.

From a Pea to a Pumpkin:
A Prenatal Online Psychotherapy Group

Feeling anxious during pregnancy is normal and can be helpful. It often means that crucial emotional work is happening. As your body changes, you may become more aware of your fears and worries, especially when facing uncertainty. This time can also offer a chance for personal reflection and self-discovery. Joining a relaxed group can enhance this experience. In the "From a Pea to a Pumpkin" group, you can share your feelings and experiences, which helps you understand the emotions of pregnancy. You will have the opportunity to discuss essential milestones, concerns, and joys in your pregnancy journey, fostering a sense of connection with others.

Talking with Mothers:
A Postpartum Online Psychotherapy Group

Having a baby gives mothers a valuable chance to work through personal issues, helping them become more self-aware and understand others better. This experience changes a mother's identity.

In this ongoing psychotherapy group, you can explore your attachment styles, emotional challenges, and the important shift from being pregnant to caring for your baby outside of yourself.

For the most effective and comprehensive treatment approach, Angela recommends a combination of individual and group therapy.

A change gradually takes place in the feelings as well as in the body of the woman who has conceived. The direction of her interest turns from outward to inwards. She slowly but surely comes to believe that the center of the world is in her own body.
