RISE UP
and find all of ‘you.’
Everyone said pregnancy and new motherhood would be magical, but you’re drowning in a darkness nobody talks about.
The baby books skipped the chapter on wanting to disappear when your newborn cries at 3 AM.
You’re not failing as a mother. You’re experiencing something real, something treatable, something that thousands of women in NYC face in silence.
We understand the weight of these invisible struggles, and we’re here to support you through:
Your maternal instincts aren't broken. They're buried under trauma and fear.
Perinatal mood disorder therapy in Manhattan and NYC is like:
Finding yourself again underneath all the fear and exhaustion.
We’ve all been in that space where the guilt is eating you alive. You love this tiny human more than life itself, but being their mother feels hard at times. Every other mom on your Brooklyn block seems to have figured out this secret you’re missing.
Three AM feedings have become your personal nightmare. Not because of the sleep deprivation, but because of the thoughts that creep in when the world is quiet.
Thoughts that make you wonder if your baby would be better off with someone else …
We understand how isolating these feelings can be, especially when everyone expects you to be grateful and glowing:
Look, maternal mental health isn’t about being a ‘ perfect ‘ mother … it’s about being a real one. With the right therapist in Queens and throughout NYC, you can find relief from the intrusive thoughts and rediscover the mother you actually are underneath all this fear.
Here’s what working with us looks like:
We’re here to support you in reclaiming motherhood as something that brings you peace, not just panic.
Our approach targets both the immediate crisis and the deeper wounds that fuel perinatal distress:
These methods work together to help you trust your instincts, quiet the intrusive thoughts, and rediscover the joy that’s been buried under survival mode.
Your baby is here, but you feel like you’ve disappeared. The intrusive thoughts about dropping them, the panic when they cry, the overwhelming guilt about not feeling the “natural maternal bliss” everyone promised.
You might be struggling with:
Postpartum therapy in NYC is like:
Learning you're not failing; you're just fighting something invisible.
These feelings don’t define you as a mother or as a person. Postpartum depression and anxiety are real, treatable conditions that affect countless new mothers, yet the shame and isolation they bring can feel overwhelming. You’re not failing … you’re struggling with something that requires support, understanding, and professional care.
In our work together, we’ll create a safe space where you can express these difficult emotions without judgment. You’ll learn practical coping strategies, develop a stronger sense of self-worth, and gradually reconnect with the joy and confidence that feel so distant right now.
Our approach includes:
Recovery is possible. You can feel like yourself again … perhaps even a stronger, more resilient version of yourself.
Every negative test feels like another door slamming shut. You’re tired of timing everything, of watching friends get pregnant effortlessly while you calculate ovulation windows and navigate insurance coverage for another round of treatments.
You might be struggling with:
Infertility grief is unlike any other loss … it’s the mourning of dreams, timelines, and a future you had envisioned. Each month brings a cycle of hope and disappointment that can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and questioning your worth. The well-meaning comments from others who don’t understand only add to the isolation and pain.
We’ll work together to process the complex emotions that arise: the grief, anger, guilt, and sometimes relief that comes with finally having a name for your struggle.
Through our sessions, you’ll develop healthy coping mechanisms for managing the uncertainty and stress that infertility brings.
Our approach includes:
Whether your journey leads to parenthood through various paths or to a child-free life, you’ll have the tools and support to navigate it with resilience and self-compassion.
The nursery is ready but empty. People say, “At least you know you can get pregnant,” as if that makes the loss smaller. The anniversaries hit harder than expected, and seeing pregnant women feels like a punch to the gut.
You might be struggling with:
Perinatal counseling in Manhattan is like:
Reclaiming motherhood as something that brings peace, not panic.
But they mattered deeply to you, and that love and loss deserve to be witnessed and honored.
Together we’ll explore how grief shows up uniquely in your life and relationships, and work to develop personalized strategies for moving through, not around, your pain.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting or “getting over” your loss. Instead, it means learning to carry your love and grief in ways that allow you to re-engage with life while honoring your child’s memory.
Our approach includes:
Through gentle, trauma-informed approaches, we’ll help you rebuild a sense of meaning and hope, whether you’re navigating subsequent pregnancies, considering other paths to parenthood, or learning to envision a different but fulfilling future than the one you had planned.
Rocking your baby to sleep shouldn’t trigger a spiral of ‘what if’ thoughts that make you question everything. You shouldn’t have to choose between being medicated and being miserable. And you most definitely shouldn’t have to pretend everything’s fine when you’re barely holding it together.
The age-old advice “sleep when the baby sleeps” feels like a cruel joke when your brain won’t turn off.
Our approach helps you heal from both the trauma you’ve experienced and the daily reality of where you are now:
With these tools, we guide you from barely surviving to actually healing and growing as not only the mother you were meant to be but also the individual you are.
You’re Not Just A Mom, You’re ‘You’ … with Needs, Dreams, and Worth!
You deserve to experience the joy of motherhood, not just endure it. Your healing isn’t selfish … it’s essential for both of you.
Small daily practices can help regulate your nervous system during this vulnerable time, creating space for healing alongside the demands of new motherhood. Try these strategies and notice how they support your emotional well-being.
