Now Scheduling Appointments Starting in March 2026
The process of becoming a parent is perhaps the most profound transition a person can experience. It is a journey of constant "unbecoming" and "becoming." From the hopeful beginnings and the heartbreak of loss to the daily exhaustion of raising children and the quiet shift of an empty nest, your nervous system is at the center of it all.
At Mind-Body Psychiatric Services, we provide a soft place to land. We help you navigate the "invisible load" of parenthood by integrating medical expertise with somatic healing.
Healing from Pregnancy Loss
Grief after loss is not just emotional; it is physical. Your body may still feel "ready" for a baby that isn't there. Through Creative Movement Therapy, we help you process this specific type of somatic grief, allowing your body to find a way to honor the loss and eventually find a sense of peace again.
Navigating the Grief of Infertility
For those struggling to conceive, grief isn't a single event - it is often a recurring cycle. It is the exhaustion of "trying," the clinical stress of fertility treatments, and the profound sadness that comes with unmet hope. This experience can leave you feeling disconnected from your body, as if it has failed you, and isolated from a world that seems to move forward without you.
Perinatal & Postpartum Wellness
While terms like 'the baby blues' are common, they often don’t capture the deep biological and emotional shifts that occur after birth or loss. We provide expert Psychiatric Medication Management that is safe and informed for those who are pregnant or nursing, helping stabilize mood and sleep during a time of immense hormonal change.
The Sensory Experience of Parenting
Raising children - especially for neurodivergent parents or those with their own trauma history - can be a constant state of "sensory overwhelm." We help you learn somatic tools to regulate your own nervous system in a safe, supportive environment.
Empty Nesting & Identity Shifts
When the daily demands of parenting shift or end, it can leave a profound void. We help you rediscover who you are outside of your role as a caregiver, using movement and reflection to reclaim your personal rhythm.
Inclusive of All Families
We proudly support all paths to parenthood, including LGBTQ+ families, adoptive parents, and those navigating the journey as trans or non-binary parents.
We offer telehealth services throughout the state of PA, and in-person sessions in Elkins Park and Fort Washington.
