Support for the fourth trimester

Perinatal and postpartum therapy by video for new and expecting parents in California.

Who this is for

Pregnancy and the first months with a baby can bring big feelings, along with very little sleep. Perinatal and postpartum therapy is for new and expecting parents who are struggling with anxiety, low mood or the strain a new baby can put on a relationship.

Sessions are by video, so you can join from home without arranging a drive or a sitter.

What we work on

  • Pregnancy
  • Postpartum adjustment
  • Anxiety around a new baby
  • Low mood
  • Relationship strain after a baby
  • Feeling overwhelmed

How we work with this

Misty focuses on perinatal mental health. She draws on attachment based, somatic, cognitive behavioral and trauma informed approaches, and she has completed Level 1 Gottman Method training for when a new baby puts pressure on a couple.

  • Attachment based and somatic therapy

    Misty uses both in her perinatal work.

  • EMDR

    Misty is EMDR trained, which can help when a birth or pregnancy was traumatic.

  • Gottman Method, Level 1

    Available for partners adjusting together.

What sessions look like

Every session is by secure video on a HIPAA compliant platform, with nothing to download. You join from home, from work or from your parked car, anywhere in California.

You and your therapist decide together whether to meet weekly or every other week.
