Navigating the shift into pregnancy and parenthood can be overwhelming. When preparing to welcome a baby into the family, parents can sometimes experience scary, intrusive thoughts and intense emotions that can make them feel alone, guilty, and ashamed. Becoming a parent can also trigger difficult thoughts and feelings from your own childhood. Between all the new things to learn, a changing body, shifting priorities, and so many new unknowns, parents deserve to have someone walking alongside them as they navigate this new chapter of life.

Our providers at Artemis Psychology specialize in helping new parents explore and manage all the new life experiences that come with pregnancy and postpartum. We help our clients learn about their childhood experiences, incorporate attachment theory into therapy, understand and dismantle society’s pressure on parents, and navigate how different identities may experience these challenges differently. Dr. Blake has completed the 2020 Mom and Postpartum Support International Training on Maternal Mental Health, demonstrating her dedication to this population and its special needs. We also work closely with your OBGYN, medication prescribers, doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, and other associated providers to give you comprehensive, holistic care. 

At Artemis Psychology, we recognize the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum folks and are dedicated to fostering their healing.
