Select clinicians at Lighthouse can provide modified services to women who are pregnant, recently given birth, experiencing loss, or infertility. The need for this type of service has become more and more apparent over the past three decades.
The time in a woman’s life where she deals with reproductive topics can be marked with increased risk for developing mental health issues, experience new difficulties, or have other concerns where therapeutic services can be effective in treating issues or provide the necessary support. Research has shown that this period of a woman’s life comes with increased risks for not only the mother but the child as well. Through a client-oriented approach, issues like antenatal and postnatal mental health illnesses, adjusting to the new identity as a mother, and others can be effectively treated.
Approaches used depend on the client's needs and vary from CBT modified for the perinatal population to attachment theory-based techniques.
