The Life After Birth® Model

What makes us different

The Life After Birth Model

At Life After Birth, we offer real, nuanced support for people moving through the profound transition that happens after birth. We understand that early parenthood is both raw and beautiful—a time of deep change that touches every part of who you are.

Our model is grounded in the belief that becoming a parent isn’t just a practical adjustment, but a psychological, emotional, and spiritual metamorphosis. Drawing from Depth Psychology, Somatic Experiencing, Buddhist practice, and evidence-based approaches to perinatal mood and anxiety care, we help you make sense of this transformation and reconnect with yourself in the process.

Each of our therapists is a master’s-level clinician with advanced training in perinatal mental health. We offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and community-based support circles—spaces for reflection, connection, and healing. These circles serve as a counterpart to traditional “mommy & me” classes, centering not just the baby’s development, but your inner experience as you navigate the psychological birth of a parent, known as matrescence (or patrescence).

At Life After Birth, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to be seen, held, and understood—to honor the complexity of your becoming, and to find meaning, grounding, and belonging in this next chapter of life.
