Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy

Lucienne Cohen Therapy, providing compassionate therapy for anxiety, body image, and perinatal mental health serving Boston, MA and Dallas, TX

Early motherhood can feel far more complicated than you expected. You may be physically exhausted but mentally on high alert, overwhelmed by worry, or emotionally fragile in ways that are hard to explain. Many new moms find themselves questioning their confidence, feeling disconnected from themselves, or wondering why this season feels so heavy.

You might feel insecure, unhappy, or constantly preoccupied—then guilty for not feeling the joy you expected. These experiences are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and they can have a significant impact on your mental health. Perinatal and postpartum therapy offers a space to talk honestly about what you’re experiencing — without pressure to “enjoy every moment” or have it all figured out.
