Prenatal Therapy
-
Prenatal therapy is therapy for women that are wanting to become pregnant or are pregnant. Alex has two children of her own so she understands that pre-pregnancy and pregnancy can be a beautiful and challenging time. Are you worried about conceiving or if you are ready to be a parent? Do you feel like stress or past trauma is in the way of you starting your family? Do you have health problems that concern you while pregnant? Are you going through fertility treatments or recently had a miscarriage? Are you pregnant and wondering if you can still exercise and what you should eat? Are you pregnant and struggling with weight gain and body dysmorphia? Has your anxiety suddenly skyrocketed after determining you are pregnant? Are you struggling with anxiety during pregnancy and previously haven’t had anxiety? If so, prenatal therapy is for you!
