Why and How Perinatal Mental Health Therapy Can Help
The perinatal period — from conception through the first year postpartum — is one of the most significant and emotionally complex transitions a person can go through. Therapy during this time (and also beyond the first year postpartum) offers support that goes far beyond managing symptoms.
1. You don't have to "earn" the right to struggle. Whether you're navigating infertility, a difficult pregnancy, or a postpartum period that doesn't look like social media, therapy offers a space where your experience is valid — no matter how it compares to anyone else's.
2. Anxiety and depression during pregnancy are common and treatable. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) affect up to 1 in 5 birthing people. Therapy helps you understand what you're experiencing, develop coping tools, and feel more capable with managing your mental health.
3. Birth experiences deserve to be processed. Unexpected labor, unplanned or unwanted medical intervention, NICU stays, or simply a birth that felt out of your control can leave lasting emotional marks. Therapy creates space to grieve what you hoped for while making meaning of what actually happened.
4. Infertility and pregnancy loss can result in grief — and need to be treated that way. The emotional toll of fertility treatments, miscarriage, or loss is profound and often unseen by the people around you. A therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health can meet you in that grief without rushing you through it.
5. The identity shift is real. Becoming a parent involves a fundamental reorganization of who you are, your relationships, your career, and your sense of self. Therapy helps you navigate that transformation with intention rather than just surviving it.
6. Your relationship with your partner and your baby matters. Perinatal therapy can strengthen your capacity for connection — with your partner, and with your new baby — especially when stress, exhaustion, or mood symptoms are getting in the way.
7. You deserve support before things reach a crisis point. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients come simply because the weight of it all has gotten heavy, and they want a consistent, judgment-free space to process it weekly. That's more than enough reason.
8. A therapist who gets it makes a difference. Working with someone who has personal and clinical experience with the perinatal journey — infertility, birth, motherhood — means you spend less time explaining and more time actually healing.
Hi, my name is Kamille…
I’m a mom of 3 young children and therapist licensed in New York and New Jersey with 13+ years of clinical experience. I earned my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from New York University in 2012 and trained at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. My passion as a therapist is to walk alongside professionals, working parents, and mom’s at all stages of parenthood as you navigate your mental health and everything in between. My focus on perinatal mental health evolved from my own experience dealing with infertility and birth trauma, while witnessing the ongoing need for support for women and parents.
I would describe my therapeutic style as: warm, empathetic & patient, where I position the client as the expert of their life. In our work together, I will use a combination of Person-Centered and Psychodynamic therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness techniques to support your journey. I like to inject humor, accountability and honestly, real talk in our conversations. I’m navigating life and motherhood right alongside you.
As a mother, now more than ever, I understand the power of support and community and I wish to provide that for you. Imagine therapy as a time only for YOU to process your concerns, worries and hopes for the future - a time for you to discuss what’s on your mind. Therapy can often have an ongoing theme, sprinkled with daily challenges - the path we follow in our work together is unique to you. Hand-in-hand with talk therapy is learning and implementing concrete skills to increase and sustain your overall well-being.
When not in sessions, you can find me hanging out with my family, exploring local coffee shops in search of the best iced latte, or (sometimes) on a pilates reformer. I enjoy photography, travel and supporting the women and moms in my community.
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve already done a lot of the hard part - allowing yourself to ask for help! I look forward to meeting you soon.
