"I hate my body. I hate my partner. Sometimes I even hate my baby and I can't stop crying."

And I can't figure out whats wrong with me

Having the baby is just the beginning – you can start the healing today.

Motherhood isn’t something that instantly makes sense. It’s messy, exhausting, and filled with doubt. No one is born knowing how to be a mother. Every person that has a baby becomes a mother through the daily lived experience, the trial and error, and countless moments of uncertainty.
Maybe you expected the transition to be hard, but not this hard. You might be feeling disconnected from your baby, your body, or even yourself. You might be losing sleep, not because of your baby, but because your mind won’t stop racing.
Perhaps you’ve had thoughts you don’t dare say out loud, terrifying what-ifs or flashes of fear that make you wonder if something is wrong with you.
  • “Ever since I brought my baby home, I can’t stop thinking that terrible things will happen.”
  • “I feel numb. We tried for so long to have this baby, but I don’t feel how I expected to feel.”
  • “Everybody keeps saying ‘trust your instincts,’ but I don’t think I have any.”
  • “I can’t stop crying. I cry when he cries. I cry when I’m finally alone. I feel trapped.”
 

These feelings are more common than you think.

Therapy gives you space to say the things you’ve been holding in, the safe place to explore your emotions without judgement or bias. Therapy gives you the refuge to speak the unspeakable and know that the inner truth about your experiences is heard.
You don’t have to do this alone.

Start today and feel better soon.

Here's what we'll work on in Therapy

Therapy isn't about having all the answers. It's about making space for your unique experience so you can begin to heal.

  • Understanding Parental Mental Health

    Learn why people get depressed, anxious, and have terrifying intrusive thoughts, and how we can work through them.

  • Processing Birth Trauma & Loss

    If your birth experience was traumatic, or if you've experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or fertility struggles, therapy is a space to grieve and heal.

  • Reconnect With Yourself & Your Body

    When you feel disconnected or separated from your body after birth it takes time and work to rebuild the trust, self-compassion, empathy, and self-identity.

  • Building Coping Strategies for Today and Tomorrow

    Motherhood is relentless, so it's crucial to find ways to manage exhaustion, intrusive thoughts and emotional overload.

If you've been struggling, let's talk.

You don’t have to love every moment of motherhood. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Therapy gives you permission to feel whatever you feel – without guilt, without shame, and without judgment.

    "Cincinnati families are fortunate to have Megan’s expertise in our community. Her clinical skills are changing lives. With honesty and compassion, she guides her clients step by step through the messy and confusing moments, helping them see challenges from a new perspective. As a doula and group facilitator in the postpartum space, I am often asked for referrals to therapists (for moms, their partners, or couples' counseling). Megan is always at the top of my list, especially for those navigating perinatal trauma, striving for equitable and fulfilling parenting partnerships, or working to heal from their own experiences with parents and caregivers. "

    -Amanda Laskowski, M.S.

    "I am forever grateful for the support and care I receive from Megan. We initially started working together during the absolute hardest time of my life - deeply struggling with postpartum OCD - I was completely lost with little faith that things were ever going to get better. Our sessions gave me hope. Through her empathy, expertise and dedication, she provided me with practical, effective tools that helped me regain control of my life. Years later, I still rely on those tools to guide me through challenging times. "

    -Margot Richey

    "After my trauma workshop with Megan, I have noticed a marked improvement in my ability to reflect on my birth experience and introduction to motherhood. It feels for the first time since Adler was born (Feb 2024), I am able to look at photos and videos of him as a fresh newborn and not feel sadness or heartbreak. I am now able to look at my experience and feel strong. I am able to articulate the experience much more confidently, and not feel I have to hide it from others when talking about my birth story."

    -Mikayla Trinkley
