Maternal mental health is focused on the emotional and mental well-being of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the time after the baby is born. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed during these moments. Hormonal changes, physical demands, and the emotional shifts that come with motherhood can lead to anxiety, stress, or even depression.
Whether you're a new mom or facing challenges with fertility, taking care of your mental health is crucial—for both you and your child. At Weston Family Psychology, we provide personalized care to help you manage these challenges, so you can navigate motherhood with confidence and support.
In the following sections, we’ll explore the key maternal mental health issues we treat, including pregnancy-related anxiety, postpartum depression, and more.
Pregnancy is a time of great change, both physically and emotionally. Many women feel anxious during this period, worrying about the health of the baby, the challenges of childbirth, and the changes ahead. It’s common to experience heightened stress and anxiety due to these uncertainties, and seeking help early on can make a big difference.
Therapeutic support can help you manage these emotions in a healthy way. Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices are particularly effective in reducing pregnancy-related anxiety. These approaches provide practical strategies to reduce stress and prepare mentally for the changes to come.
Infertility can be an emotionally overwhelming experience, often leading to feelings of isolation, guilt, and frustration. It can also place significant stress on relationships, as the journey to conception can be long and unpredictable. Many individuals struggle with anxiety and depression during this time, exacerbated by the complexity and costs of fertility treatments.
Support is available through individual therapy, couples counseling, and support groups. These therapeutic approaches offer a space to process your emotions, find emotional resilience, and reconnect with hope as you navigate the challenges of infertility.
The loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death is one of the most heartbreaking experiences any parent can face. The grief is profound and often isolating, leaving parents unsure of how to process their emotions.
While nothing can erase the pain, therapy can provide a compassionate space to work through your grief. Support from a therapist who understands the unique emotional challenges of perinatal loss can help you and your partner navigate the grieving process and find a path toward healing.
Facing the emotional challenges of motherhood—whether it’s anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum depression, or the grief of perinatal loss—can feel overwhelming. Without the right support, these feelings can worsen, affecting your well-being and your family.
At Weston Family Psychology, we understand these struggles and offer personalized, evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs. Our compassionate team provides the care and tools you need to regain control and find balance. Let us help you navigate this journey with confidence and resilience.
