Pregnancy and parenthood can be deeply meaningful — and unexpectedly challenging. Alongside excitement and love, many people experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and changes within their relationships during this time.

You may find yourself worrying more than usual, feeling pressure to hold everything together, or struggling to reconcile the experience you're having with the one you expected.

Pregnancy and postpartum therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and receive thoughtful support during one of life's most significant transitions.

At here/now, we work with individuals and couples navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the emotional complexities of early parenthood. Our therapists have specialized training in maternal and perinatal mental health.

Common Reasons People Seek Perinatal Therapy

• Pregnancy anxiety or persistent worry about the baby, birth, or parenthood

• Postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety

• Emotional overwhelm, mood swings, or feelings of inadequacy

• Relationship stress as family dynamics shift

• Difficulty bonding with your baby

• Birth trauma or a birth experience that didn't go as planned

• The challenge of balancing career, partnership, identity, and parenting

• Grief related to pregnancy loss, fertility struggles, or the loss of your pre-parent identity

Therapy provides a steady, nonjudgmental space to process what you're experiencing and reconnect with yourself during a period of enormous change.

Our Approach

Our therapists draw on attachment-focused, relational, and IFS-informed approaches to support clients through the perinatal period. We understand that the transition to parenthood touches on identity, relationships, family-of-origin dynamics, and deeply held expectations — and we hold space for all of it.

We offer pregnancy and postpartum therapy in Brooklyn, NY and virtual perinatal therapy throughout New York, Connecticut, Florida, and Vermont, supporting adults navigating the emotional landscape of becoming a parent.
