Find Expert Grief Support Through Therapy
The loss of a baby or the heartbreak of unsuccessful fertilization can feel profoundly overwhelming and isolating.
We work with individuals and couples who have experienced the devastating loss of a pregnancy or infant. This includes those who have gone through miscarriage, stillbirth, failed IVF, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), and neonatal loss. Many of our clients feel isolated in their grief, struggle with overwhelming emotions, or find it difficult to reconnect with themselves, their partners, or their sense of hope for the future.
Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and we honor your willingness to reach out for support. Whether you’re experiencing intense emotions, stress in your relationships, or deep-rooted challenges that have been difficult to process, our therapists are here to walk alongside you. We offer a safe, inclusive space where all identities are welcome, respected, and supported on their journey toward growth and well-being.
Support for Grieving Individuals, Couples, & Families
Parents grieving a perinatal loss often face intense sadness, guilt, self-blame, anxiety about the future, and a deep sense of emptiness. Many struggle with feelings of isolation because their pain is not always understood or validated by those around them. Couples may find themselves grieving differently, which can create distance in their relationship. Some clients also experience fear around future pregnancies, difficulty engaging in daily life, or a loss of trust in their own bodies.
Therapy is a space where you can be honest about your giref, fears, and struggles while learning strategies that help you heal and feel supported. We also focus on improving communication with your partner. No matter what you’re going through, you don’t have to do this alone. You deserve support, you deserve to feel like yourself again, and you deserve relief.
Grief can take many forms, and therapy can provide relief from challenges such as:
Emotional Overwhelm – Making space to process grief in all its forms, including sorrow, anger, guilt, and uncertainty.
Coping with Triggers – Navigating due dates, anniversaries, pregnancy announcements, and other painful reminders.
Relationship Strain – Helping couples grieve together rather than feeling disconnected in their individual pain.
Identity & Self-Worth – Addressing self-blame, feelings of failure, and the loss of what "should have been."
Fear of the Future – Exploring emotions around trying to conceive again and managing pregnancy after loss.
Honoring the Baby’s Memory – Finding personal and meaningful ways to keep a connection with the baby while continuing to move forward.
You Don’t Have to Keep Living This Way
You deserve expert support after experiencing the most devastating loss one can ever feel. You don’t have to struggle in silence.
