Pregnancy, Prenatal & Postpartum Support on Long Island

Support for the emotional journey into motherhood — from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond.

Pregnancy and new parenthood can be beautiful and joyful — but they can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. Hormonal changes, identity shifts, physical exhaustion, and the pressure to “do it all” can lead many women to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed.

At Long Island Therapy, we provide compassionate, specialized support for women navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum adjustment, and early motherhood. Whether you’re expecting your first child or expanding your family, we’re here to help you feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally well.

Common Issues We Support:

Mood swings, sadness, or irritability during or after pregnancy
Postpartum depression or anxiety
Panic, worry, or intrusive thoughts
Birth trauma or difficult labor experiences
Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss
Emotional adjustment to motherhood or identity changes
Struggles with bonding or breastfeeding
Overwhelm, guilt, or burnout from caregiving responsibilities

If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed or “not like yourself,” you’re not alone — and therapy can help you feel supported, understood, and empowered again.

How We Help
