Need Therapy Support? Ask AI

Thinking about postpartum therapy but nervous about what will happen when you actually sit down with a therapist?

You may be wondering, “What am I supposed to say?” or “What if I start crying and can’t explain what’s wrong?”

You don’t need to have everything figured out before your first session.

You Can Start With What Feels Hardest

Your first session is a chance to explain what has been happening since pregnancy, birth, or becoming a parent.

Maybe you’re constantly worried about your baby. Maybe you’re struggling with sleep, anxiety, guilt, anger, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You may also be carrying memories from a difficult birth.

You can simply describe what has been bothering you.

At EMDR Healing Therapy, postpartum and parenting support can address emotional challenges connected with pregnancy, birth, postpartum adjustment, and parenting.

Call us (858) 289-0671 or Book your free 15-minute consultation.

You Don’t Need a Diagnosis

You don’t have to know whether you’re experiencing postpartum anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply having a difficult adjustment.

Your therapist can help you understand your concerns and determine what kind of support may be appropriate.

If anxiety is making daily life difficult, anxiety counseling may become part of your treatment. If a traumatic experience is affecting you, trauma recovery therapy may also be considered.

What If You Had a Traumatic Birth?

You don’t have to force yourself to describe every detail immediately.

If your birth experience still affects how safe, calm, or connected you feel, therapy can provide a space to work through those emotions at a manageable pace.

When appropriate, EMDR therapy may be incorporated into treatment for trauma-related concerns.

What Happens After the First Session?

You and your therapist can discuss what you want help with and what the next steps could look like.

For someone in San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, or a nearby community, starting therapy doesn’t mean you have to have all the answers.

You can simply start with a conversation about what you’re going through.

EMDR Healing Therapy offers a free 15-minute consultation so you can talk about your concerns and determine whether the practice may be a good fit for your needs.
