Frequently Asked Questions

I provide virtual therapy throughout New York. Telehealth allows mothers to access support from the comfort of their home, which can be especially helpful during pregnancy and postpartum.

Maternal mental health therapy focuses on supporting women through the emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood. Therapy can help mothers navigate anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, identity changes, relationship stress, and the many adjustments that come with caring for a new baby.

Each session is a safe, confidential space to explore your experiences, emotions, and goals. We’ll work collaboratively to develop coping skills, process difficult emotions, and nurture your well-being.

The first session is an intake appointment lasting 60 minutes. During this time, we’ll talk about what has been bringing you to therapy, review your history, and discuss your goals so we can determine how therapy can best support you.

Ongoing therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes, with the option for 45-minute sessions if a shorter appointment works better for your schedule. We can decide together what session length feels most supportive for you.

Therapy provides a supportive space to talk openly about your experiences in motherhood. Together we explore your emotions, identify helpful coping tools, and work toward helping you feel more confident, supported, and connected to yourself during this season of life.

Many therapists choose not to work directly with insurance companies so they can provide care that is more private, flexible, and focused on each client’s individual needs. Insurance companies often require therapists to provide a mental health diagnosis, share treatment information, and follow specific limitations on the type and length of therapy that can be provided.

This allows us to focus fully on your goals and the support you need during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood.
