Frequently Asked Questions
-
Perinatal mental health refers to emotional well-being during the period before, during, and after pregnancy. This includes fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and life as a parent or caregiver. Therapy can help you navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, mood swings, grief, trauma, and overwhelming life changes during this time.
-
Yes, therapy is confidential, and your therapist is bound by legal and ethical guidelines to protect your privacy. There are some exceptions to this, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law. But no one can be told any information about therapy without written specific consent, including your job, loved ones, your spouse or kids, doctors, lawyers, or anyone else asking for information related to therapy.
-
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from yourself or your child, struggling with intrusive thoughts, or finding it hard to cope with everyday life, therapy can help. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit—sometimes just having a space to process your emotions can make all the difference.
-
It's understandable to feel hesitant about trying therapy, especially if you have never done it before. It's important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength and that therapy can provide a safe and supportive space for you to work through issues. If you're not sure if therapy is right for you, consider scheduling a consultation with a therapist to learn more about the process and ask any questions you may have.
-
The length of therapy can vary depending on your specific needs and goals. Some people may see significant improvements after just a few sessions, while others may continue therapy for several months or longer. Your therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
-
The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your specific needs and goals. Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may find that bi-weekly or monthly sessions are sufficient. Your therapist will work with you to determine a schedule that works best for you.
-
Yes, we are in-network with several major insurance companies, including Medicaid. See our Insurance & Rates page for details.
-
Absolutely! We work with all types of parents and caregivers, including non-birthing partners, adoptive parents, foster parents, and those supporting a loved one through the perinatal period. Your experience and emotional health matter, too.
-
No, we support clients at all stages of their parenting journey—from those considering parenthood, to those struggling with fertility or loss, to parents of older children who are still processing their perinatal experiences or adjusting to ongoing parenting challenges.
-
Intrusive thoughts are incredibly common during the perinatal period and do not mean you are a danger to your child. This is a safe, judgment-free space to talk openly about whatever you’re experiencing. Our goal is to help you understand and work through these thoughts—not to judge or punish you.
-
Yes, we offer secure, confidential virtual sessions for clients throughout the state of Florida. This allows you to access support from the comfort of your own home, even on the busiest or hardest days.
-
No, you will not cause trauma to your therapist by talking about your own trauma. Therapists are trained to work with clients who have experienced trauma and are prepared to handle discussions around even the most sensitive topics. It's important to remember that therapy is a safe and confidential space where you can talk about your experiences without fear of judgment. Your therapist is there to support you and help you work through your trauma in a healthy and constructive way. If you have concerns about how talking about your trauma may impact your therapist, you can discuss these concerns with them and work together to find a way to address them.
-
Therapist cannot prescribe medication. Your therapist may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan if it is deemed necessary for your mental health. However, medication is not always necessary, and your therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. If medication is needed, you will be referred to a medication management provider.
