Pregnant & Postpartum
Therapy in Waco TEXas
Pregnancy and postpartum aren’t always the picture-perfect seasons we see online.
You might feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected — and then guilty for feeling that way.
Between hormone shifts, identity changes, body image struggles, and the endless mental load, it can be hard to recognize yourself anymore.
At Rooted & Nourished Psychotherapy, I help women navigate the emotional, physical, and relational changes that come with pregnancy and new motherhood. You don’t have to go through this alone — and you don’t have to wait until you “have it all together” to get help.
Perinatal Therapy for moms seeking more support; if this sounds like you, I see you.
Honest support for the mental load of motherhood — before, during, and after birth
"I don't feel like myself anymore."
“I should be happy, but I just feel numb."
“I can't stop crying after having my baby.”
"I hate my postpartum body"
"Why do I hate my husband?"
- Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or irritable most days
- Wondering, “Is this normal or postpartum depression?”
- Constant worry that something bad will happen to your baby
- Feeling disconnected from your partner, friends, or even yourself
- Guilt for missing your old self or not loving every part of motherhood
- Struggling with sleep, feeding, or the endless mental load of motherhood
- Feeling like, “I should be happy… but I just feel numb or depleted.”
- Changes in body image, appetite, or identity after pregnancy
- Wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
What Pregnancy & Postpartum Therapy Can Help You With
Therapy offers a safe space to slow down and be honest about what’s really going on — without judgment., and caring for yourself without shame.
You’ll learn to:
Reducing anxiety and intrusive thoughts
Processing your birth story or pregnancy experience
Reconnecting with your body in compassionate, non-diet ways
Managing perfectionism and unrealistic expectations
Building support systems that actually meet your needs
The transition into motherhood is one of the biggest life shifts there is.
It’s okay to need support, to grieve who you were, and to want to feel like yourself again.
How Therapy Helps You Rebuild After Birth
- Subtle signs of postpartum depression that often get missed
- How overwhelm, irritability, or guilt might be showing up
- Emotional or physical changes that don’t feel like “you”
If you’ve been wondering whether what you’re feeling is “normal postpartum” or something more, this gentle self-check will help you make sense of what’s been heavy.
Inside you'll explore:
FREE POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION SELF-CHECK:
In Nourish the Mother sessions, you get space to exhale, tell the truth about how you’re actually doing, and make sense of the emotions that have piled up underneath the day-to-day survival.
Together, we’ll sort through the guilt, the pressure to “bounce back,” the shifts in identity, and the moments where you feel like you’re supposed to be grateful… but you’re also exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from your body. Nothing is too small, too messy, or too “I should be over this by now” to bring into the room.
My goal is to help you feel more supported, more steady in your own skin, and more connected to the version of yourself that got lost somewhere between pregnancy, birth, and all the expectations that followed. You deserve a place where you can soften — and this is it.
Becoming a mother changes you in ways no one really warns you about — not just your schedule or your sleep, but your relationship with food, your body, and who you are now.
My Approach
Our first virtual therapy session is a space to slow down, breathe, and begin making sense of what’s been heavy. Whether you’re here in Waco, Texas or anywhere in the state, I’ll listen closely to your story — where you’ve been, what’s working, and what feels stuck — so we can start building a plan that fits your pace and your needs.
It’s the foundation for our work together, and a chance to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
After the intake session we will decide together what your treatment plan looks like and the amount of follow up sessions needed.
