Pregnancy Mental
Health Concerns
Does it feel like you're supposed to be “glowing” right now, but instead you're anxious, overwhelmed, or wondering if something is wrong with you for not feeling the joy everyone expects? We can create a safe space for you to explore those feelings along with other challenges like…
· Anxiety about pregnancy complications, loss, or something being wrong with your baby
· Depression when you expected to feel joyful and excited
· Overwhelm from physical changes, discomfort, and loss of control over your body
· Fear about labor, delivery, and whether you'll be able to handle the pain or process
· Relationship shifts as dynamics change with your partner and you prepare for parenthood together
· Identity confusion about who you're becoming and grief for the life and freedom you're leaving behind
· Pressure to feel grateful when you're actually struggling, scared, or ambivalent
· Isolation when you can't be honest about difficult feelings without judgment or toxic positivity
You don't have to pretend everything is perfect. Support can help you process the full range of emotions, manage anxiety, and prepare for this transition with honesty and self-compassion.
Postpartum Mental
Health Concerns
Is everyone asking how the baby is while you're barely holding it together - struggling with thoughts and feelings you're too afraid to say out loud? There is nothing wrong with you. Let’s reframe how you feel about…
· Overwhelming anxiety about your baby's safety, health, or whether you're doing everything "right"
· Intrusive thoughts or scary images that make you question your mental health and fitness as a parent
· Depression, emptiness, or disconnection when you expected to feel instant love and bonding
· Identity loss and grief for your former self, independence, and the life you had before
· Exhaustion and depletion from sleep deprivation, physical recovery, and constant demands
· Relationship strain with your partner as roles shift, intimacy disappears, and resentment builds
· Isolation and loneliness even when surrounded by people, feeling like no one truly understands
· Pressure to appear grateful and capable while privately struggling and wondering if you made a mistake
What you're experiencing is real, and it doesn't mean you're failing as a parent. With the right support, you can move through this, reconnect with yourself and your baby, and reclaim the peace and confidence you deserve.
Support for Partners
Are you watching your partner disappear while you’re desperately trying to hold everything together—exhausted, worried, and with nowhere to turn for your own support? We can explore challenges related to your experiences like…
· Feeling helpless watching your partner struggle while not knowing how to support them effectively
· Grief over the partnership and intimacy you had before, wondering if things will ever feel normal again
· Exhaustion from carrying extra responsibilities while trying to keep everything afloat at home
· Confusion about what's normal postpartum adjustment versus when professional help is needed
· Resentment towards your partner that creates guilt on top of frustration
· Isolation with no one asking how you're doing while everyone focuses on baby
· Fear about your partner's mental health, the impact on your child, and the future of your family
· Walking on eggshells, unsure what to say or do without making things worse
Your struggles matter too. Getting support isn't selfish—it's essential. With guidance, you can better understand what's happening, strengthen your ability to help your partner, and ensure you're not losing yourself in the process.
"After our baby was born, my wife was really struggling and I didn't know what to do. We both felt lost. Heidi helped us understand what was happening and gave us actual tools to communicate and support each other. Things didn't magically fix overnight, but we finally felt like we weren't drowning alone. We're in a much better place now."
