Medical Diagnoses
Are you dealing with life stressors such as transitioning to a new job, going through a breakup, or moving to a new city? Change is a natural part of life and can be difficult to navigate alone. Mental health therapy can help you find acceptance, comfort, and stability as you embark on this new stage of your life.
Have you been trying to have a baby for a prolonged period of time and been unsuccessful-either experiencing loss or not being able to conceive? If you are facing infertility and undergoing high levels of anxiety and emotional turmoil, you are not alone. People can feel a sense of loss and helplessness, while trying to comfort their partner. Infertility is not commonly discussed in everyday life, and it can be helpful to speak with someone other than friends or family to receive support during this stressful time.
Have you been diagnosed with a life altering medical diagnosis? Are you have difficulty processing this or speaking with your loved ones about how this will affect your everyday life? Are you a caretaker or a support person for someone who has been diagnosed with a medical condition and struggling to cope with the diagnosis?
Individuals who are diagnosed with medical conditions or friends/family who are affected by a medical diagnosis may find it beneficial to speak with a mental health provider to process how they are feeling and discover coping mechanisms.

Mental Health
Do you work in the medical system and feel burned out? Are you feeling overworked, underpaid, and undervalued or questioning why you entered the medical field? Hospital workers experience vicarious trauma working in a highly stressful environment and witnessing unimaginable scenarios. Regularly speaking with a mental health professional can allow you to process your thoughts and emotions from your personal and professional life.
Parents who have children in the NICU are at a higher risk of experiencing symptoms of postpartum anxiety or postpartum depression due to the hospitalization. NICU families face unexpected factors, such as not being able to bond in the way that they prepared (not cutting the umbilical cord, not able to complete skin-to-skin right after delivery, etc). Parents can feel torn between their other children at home, and trying to understand medical information while being physically and emotionally exhausted.
Being a parent is very hard as you adjust to a new schedule and responsibilities while being tired and overwhelmed. Oftentimes, the difficult sides of parenting are not discussed with friends/family, as parenting is seen as “the greatest joy” or parents do not want to seem ungrateful for their child by admitting that they feel sad, anxious, or are having difficulty bonding with their newborn.
