Welcome to New Moon Perinatal, a specialized group of perinatal therapists at Affiliates in Counseling. Our compassionate therapists offer a haven for individuals and couples traversing the complex terrain of the perinatal period. Inspired by the cycles and rhythms of women's health, our name reflects the transformative nature of the perinatal period, symbolizing new beginnings and the potential for resilience, healing, and growth.

The journey to parenthood is a profound and deeply personal one, often marked by a tapestry of emotions ranging from joy and excitement to fear and uncertainty. At New Moon Perinatal, we recognize the sensitive nature of this journey and strive to create a therapeutic space that honors and validates your experiences, offering evidence-based interventions tailored to your unique needs.

Our nurturing clinicians are trained and certified by Postpartum Support International (PSI) and are adept at addressing the needs in this stage of life. Our therapists possess both the clinical expertise and the compassionate understanding necessary to navigate the complexities of perinatal mental health. Whether you're grappling with changes in mood and anxiety, navigating the grief of infertility or pregnancy loss, or processing the trauma of a difficult birth experience, our therapists are here to walk alongside you with empathy and insight. We aim to empower you with the tools and strategies needed to navigate the challenges of the perinatal period with resilience, strength and grace.

Additionally, we offer dedicated support for couples as they navigate the dynamics of parenthood together. In couples therapy, we provide a safe and supportive environment for partners to explore communication patterns, foster intimacy, and strengthen their bond as they embark on this transformative journey.

If you're seeking guidance, healing, and hope on your journey to parenthood, we invite you to reach out and take the first step toward a brighter and fulfilling future.
