Postpartum Anxiety & Depression, Pregnancy, and Infertility Support
Specialized therapy for life’s most vulnerable and emotional seasons
Pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the journey to parenthood can bring some of life’s most profound joys—and also some of its deepest challenges. For many people, these seasons involve intense emotional changes, physical stress, and difficult decisions. You don’t have to navigate them alone.
At Atlanta Counseling Collective we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for postpartum anxiety and depression, as well as support for pregnancy, infertility, and pregnancy loss. We help you cope, heal, and feel more like yourself again.
Postpartum Anxiety & Depression
It’s common for new parents to feel overwhelmed, tearful, or worried in the early weeks after birth—but if those feelings are persistent, intense, or interfere with daily life, it may be more than the “baby blues.”
Postpartum Depression may include:
Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or guilt
Fatigue and loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Difficulty bonding with your baby
Changes in appetite or sleep outside of newborn needs
Postpartum Anxiety may include:
Racing thoughts and constant worry about your baby’s safety
Difficulty sleeping even when the baby sleeps
Feeling on edge, restless, or irritable
Physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath
These conditions are common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. We use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and supportive counseling to help you regain balance.
Pregnancy-Related Support
Pregnancy can bring a mix of excitement and fear. You might be facing:
Complicated or high-risk pregnancy
Severe morning sickness or pregnancy-related health issues
Fear of childbirth (tokophobia)
Anxiety about becoming a parent
Relationship or identity shifts during pregnancy
We create a safe space to talk through your concerns, learn coping skills, and prepare emotionally for birth and parenthood.
Infertility & Reproductive Challenges
Infertility can be one of the most isolating and painful experiences in a person’s life. You might be navigating:
Disappointment after multiple attempts to conceive
Emotional ups and downs of fertility treatments
Relationship strain
Feelings of grief, anger, or guilt
Therapy can help you process the emotional impact, make space for hope, and find ways to cope with uncertainty.
Pregnancy & Infant Loss
Losing a pregnancy or infant is heartbreaking. The grief is unique and often misunderstood by others. We provide gentle, nonjudgmental support for:
Miscarriage
Stillbirth
Termination for medical reasons
Neonatal loss
Our goal is to help you honor your loss, process your grief, and find a path forward at your own pace.
Our Approach
We tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from:
CBT for managing anxious and depressive thoughts
ACT for building acceptance and flexibility during uncertainty
Mindfulness for reducing stress and improving emotional balance
Grief counseling for loss and infertility challenges
Couples therapy to strengthen relationships during high-stress times
You Are Not Alone
Whether you’re struggling with postpartum mood changes, anxiety during pregnancy, or the heartache of infertility or loss, there is help—and hope. You deserve support that understands the unique challenges of this season of life.
