Maternal Mental Health Services

The journey into and through motherhood is profound, layered, and often full of complexity. While parenthood can bring deep joy and meaning, it also brings emotional and physical changes, identity shifts, and real challenges that often go unseen or unspoken. At Flourish Therapy + Wellness Center, we offer specialized maternal mental health services to support mothers through every phase of this journey, from conception through the early parenting years.

Whether you are navigating pregnancy, adjusting to life with a newborn, or parenting a child with medical or developmental needs, you are not alone. Our team is here to help.

Our maternal mental health services are designed for women and parents navigating:

• Conception and fertility challenges
• Pregnancy and the prenatal period
• Postpartum adjustment and recovery
• Birth trauma or medical complications
• Grief and loss, including miscarriage or termination for medical reasons (TFMR)
• NICU experiences and medically complex births
• Parenting neurodivergent children or children with support needs
• Emotional overwhelm and identity transitions in the parenting journey

We also welcome neurodivergent mothers and mothers who are navigating relational, cultural, or systemic stressors related to motherhood.

Mothers seek support for many different reasons. Some are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety. Others are processing trauma, managing intrusive thoughts, or feeling disconnected from themselves or their baby. Many are carrying the emotional weight of caregiving, grief, or isolation. Whatever your experience may be, we are here to support you.

We offer compassionate care for:

• Emotional regulation and distress
• Feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy
• Shifts in identity, body image, and relationships
• Bonding or attachment challenges
• Trauma following birth or medical experiences
• Parenting stress related to a child’s medical or developmental needs
• Loss of a child or coping with pregnancy decisions involving loss

We understand that these experiences do not exist in isolation and often affect the parent-child relationship. Our services are designed to support your well-being while also nurturing connection with your child.

Individual Therapy
We offer one-on-one support tailored to your unique emotional needs. Sessions provide space to process experiences, receive support, and build tools for self-understanding and resilience.

Parent and Infant Therapy
Attachment and bonding therapy supports bonding and emotional connection between mother and baby. These sessions often include infant massage, co-regulation strategies, and developmentally informed guidance. Dyadic sessions are held in person to support meaningful interaction.

Group Therapy and Community Support
Our maternal mental health groups create a safe space for mothers to connect with one another. Group offerings focus on emotional support, community building, and shared processing of the parenting experience.

Consultation and Collaboration
We collaborate with OB providers, doulas, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and other care professionals to ensure coordinated and integrated care. We also support parents in navigating systems of care for their children.

Our work is grounded in:

• Attachment-based care and parent-infant mental health
• Trauma-informed therapy
• Interpersonal neurobiology
• Perinatal mental health training and certification
• Mindfulness and somatic awareness

We bring together developmental understanding, emotional attunement, and clinical expertise to provide holistic care. Our team has experience working with families in high-risk OB clinics, NICUs, and early intervention programs for children with neurodevelopmental differences.

We care for the emotional lives of mothers while understanding the interconnected nature of family relationships, identity, and child development.

At Flourish Therapy + Wellness Center, we view maternal mental health as deeply connected to the overall health of families and communities. We support the mother as a whole person, recognizing her needs, her relationships, her story, and her child’s development.

What makes our approach unique is the integration of:

• Relational care centered on connection and emotional safety
• Developmental understanding of both parent and child needs
• Support for neurodivergent and medically complex families
• Trauma-informed practices for healing and recovery
• Collaboration across care teams and support networks

Whether you are navigating loss, facing new challenges, or simply feeling lost in the process of becoming a parent, we are here to walk with you. You deserve support, care, and space to reconnect with yourself and those you love.
