Online therapy for maternal mental health, reproductive loss, grief, and trauma in New York and Connecticut.
HI, I’M SOLIMAR
Therapist, Perinatal Palliative Care Social Worker, Mom, Academic & Owner of Solmaterna Psychotherapy and Consulting
Motherhood can be utterly draining.
Your love for your baby is unwavering, but the endless sleepless nights, overwhelming emotions, and lack of support... it's all taking its toll, isn't it?
They say it takes a village to raise a child, yet that village seems to be missing when you need it most.
You're actively working to break the cycles of generational trauma, yet the smallest triggers can send you spiraling.
Moreover, if you've faced multiple losses or are struggling with conception, the dream of your desired family may feel increasingly distant. If you're currently pregnant and overwhelmed with fear about potential loss, the once blissful innocence of pregnancy has likely been clouded by anxiety.
Despite society's insistence on self-care for moms and women, that advice often falls short. Let's dig deeper together to understand what's really going on beneath the surface, so you can rediscover yourself and fully embrace life and motherhood with confidence.
Therapy For Pregnancy
While everyone extols the virtues of cherishing pregnancy, the unspoken truth you may not have shared is that this journey is challenging, and you're not finding joy in it as you hoped.
During our therapy sessions, we'll focus on:
Addressing fears, worries, and anxieties.
Managing depression.
Coping with sadness stemming from unmet pregnancy expectations.
Preparing your relationship to provide optimal support as you navigate new parenthood together.
Therapy for Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Fertility Challenges, and Early Infant Loss
Starting a family journey can unexpectedly bring distress and sorrow due to fertility struggles, impacting mental well-being and relationships. In therapy, we'll address emotional challenges, relationship strains, coping strategies for triggers, finding meaning in loss, discussing future plans, and practicing self-compassion throughout the healing process.
During our therapy sessions, we'll focus on:
Navigating through difficult emotions and memories
Addressing any relationship challenges and communication breakdowns between partners
Developing strategies for managing triggers, such as anniversaries or encounters with pregnant acquaintances
Finding ways to incorporate the loss into your life and derive meaning from such a profound experience
Exploring plans and hopes for the future
Practicing self-compassion and acceptance during the healing process
Therapy For Moms
Describing yourself as overwhelmed seems like an understatement lately. You're grappling with feelings of resentment towards your partner, longing for the person you once were, and burdened with guilt for these emotions. If you firmly believe that motherhood shouldn't be this challenging, you're absolutely correct.
During our therapy sessions, we'll focus on:
Easing your stress levels.
Managing anxiety and depression.
Addressing feelings of guilt associated with being a working mother.
Navigating through burnout, anger, and resentments.
Healing from the trauma of childbirth.
