Therapy for women, maternal mental health, reproductive loss, grief, and trauma in New York and Connecticut.
Embarking on the journey to start a family often brings unforeseen challenges, including fertility struggles, miscarriage, stillbirth, and early infant loss, which can evoke profound distress, disappointment, and sorrow. These experiences deeply impact mental well-being, potentially altering one's sense of self and identity. Couples navigating such hurdles may find themselves coping in different ways, exacerbating strain on their relationship amidst the already painful circumstances. Even the most resilient individuals may struggle with overwhelming emotional, physical, and financial burdens stemming from reproductive loss.
In therapy sessions tailored to address these specific challenges, we prioritize various aspects of healing and coping strategies. We delve into navigating the complex array of emotions and memories associated with reproductive loss, providing a safe space for individuals and couples to explore and process their feelings. Furthermore, we address any communication breakdowns and relationship challenges that may arise, fostering understanding and support between partners during this difficult time. Practical techniques for managing triggers, such as anniversaries or encounters with pregnant acquaintances, are developed to help individuals navigate daily life with greater ease and resilience.
Our therapy sessions facilitate the exploration of finding meaning in the loss and incorporating it into one's life journey. encourage individuals and couples to explore their plans and hopes for the future, despite the setbacks they may have faced, fostering a sense of optimism and possibility. Throughout the healing process, emphasis is placed on practicing self-compassion and acceptance, empowering individuals to navigate their grief journey with resilience and grace. I offer personalized online therapy sessions that fit your schedule. Feel free to contact me to schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation. I am looking forward to connecting with you.
