Perinatal Counseling
in Phoenix, AZ

Perinatal Counseling

Perinatal counseling is focused on supporting women (and couples) through their journey into parenthood. Becoming a parent is one of the most significant changes in the human experience. New parents enter a torrent of new information and experiences. expectations, and emotions.

Accompanying these large changes are also significant physical changes for expectant and new mothers. All of this change and what may feel like the cruelest of mother nature’s actions is the lack of a proper instruction manual. However, no lack of suggestions from family, friends, and even perfect strangers.

Although the experience of parenthood can be one of the most joyful periods of a woman’s life, it, too, can be overwhelming.

If you are experiencing stress, overwhelmed, or any of the below, please know this is perfectly normal, and perinatal counseling can help.
