A guide to your goals
Nurtured Path offers individual psychotherapy dedicated to the relief of distress during the child-bearing years. While this is a core focus of our work, we also provide comprehensive therapy for a wide range of life stressors and experiences.
Often people need guidance to work through challenges. Having a compassionate, trained therapist can help provide relief to life stresses.
All of our clinicians have specialized training in perinatal mental health, and we are LGBTQ-affirming and reproductive choice-affirming. We are also committed to practicing with an awareness of traditional privileges and historical racism to provide inclusive and equitable care.
This includes treatment for a myriad of experiences that can cause emotional distress during this important phase of life, including:
-
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders like postpartum depression, depression during pregnancy, or anxiety
-
Infertility
-
Miscarriage/infant death
-
Termination for medical reasons
-
Reproductive decisions
-
Termination decisions/care
-
Traumatic labor/birth
-
Medically complicated pregnancy
-
Adjustment to motherhood and fatherhood and developmental, parenting, or discipline concerns
-
History of trauma and how it affects parenting and relationships
Our approach engages your head and your heart.
Human nervous systems respond to keep us emotionally and physically safe. Understanding these responses with the nurturing presence of an experienced therapist can decrease distress. Our passion is to nurture you and throughout that process, and helping you find the tools you need to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of a happy, healthy, and purpose-filled life.
