Perinatal Mental Health

Pregnancy and early parenthood can stir deep joy—and deep struggle. At With Connection, we specialize in perinatal mental health support for those navigating this profound life transition.

You Don’t Have to "Just Get Through It"

Too often, parents are told that distress is just part of the journey, but you do not need to suffer in silence. We are here to hold space for:

  • The grief beneath your gratitude

  • The worry that won’t let you sleep

  • The anger that feels hard to explain

  • The loneliness, even when you are never alone

We provide a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore your experiences—without shame or pressure to "bounce back."

Our therapy will support you to:

Reconnect with yourself after identity shifts

Develop tools for managing anxiety, mood swings, or overwhelm

Navigate perinatal loss, miscarriage, or fertility challenges

Process birth experiences or medical trauma

Strengthen relationships and boundaries during major transitions

You Deserve to Be Supported

Parenthood begins long before the baby arrives—and so do the emotional challenges. If you are feeling overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, or like you are not yourself, you are not broken. You are human.

A life that feels authentic, balanced, sustainable, and aligned with your values, with plenty of room for nuance and imperfection, is available to you. We can help you find it.

Was Your Family Formed Through Adoption or Foster Care?

We understand the complexities of forming your family through adoption and foster care. Adoptive and foster parenting bring layers of loss, trauma, and often confusion that can be challenging to navigate as a new parent. We are here to support you as you navigate this unique journey.
