Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in New York, NY

At the Seleni Institute, my colleagues and I are committed to providing excellent psychotherapy for women and couples experiencing reproductive and maternal mental health challenges, from mild parenting stress and worry, to severe postpartum depression and anxiety, to the grief of losing a child. We specialize in supporting women and couples through pregnancy; the postpartum period; infertility and IVF; miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss; parenting and parenthood.

Modern living can be filled with joys and opportunities, as well as burdens and stressors. Some people face barriers that interfere with achieving goals and pursuing the lives they want. Some have lost their internal compass and struggle to move forward in the face of loss or struggles with mental illness. My goal as a clinician is to help my clients live fuller, healthier, and more meaningful lives through helping them cope with their challenges and find ways to access their internal strengths.

People often come to me during life transitions when they feel anxious, scared and sad. Together we explore and develop more self awareness that leads to greater self acceptance and purposeful decision making. I work with Individuals and Couples to heal from traumas, process grief, work through shame and self judgment, improve relationships, manage career challenges. Additionally I have a special interest in working with parents during postpartum and beyond.

Are you feeling trapped by anxiety, depression or a life crisis? Do you want to break generational cycles and reparent yourself? Do you struggle with chronic health problems, infertility, or transitioning to motherhood? With my experience working in hospital settings, I help clients navigate health systems and find meaning in life with a serious illness. As a maternal mental health specialist, I support clients through the emotional toll of trying to conceive, infertility, and pregnancy. I also specialize in helping clients process damaging childhood experiences and change their patterns for themselves or their children.

Life in NYC is filled with demands and stressors, both at work and at home. Balancing all that is required is overwhelming. Yet the distress you feel today does not need to be your new normal, there is hope! I believe that each person is resilient, with the capacity to build connection and heal. I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, grief and loss, job stress and trauma. In our sessions, I will be an active, curious listener. I will approach our work together with warmth, humor and empathy, while integrating evidence-based practices to meet your needs.

Eva Bitter is a psychotherapist and supervisor specializing in early childhood, family, and perinatal mental heath. With over a decade of experience working with infants, children, and families in New York City, Eva provides a client-centered, relational, psychodynamic, somatic, and holistic approach.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I hold that exploring our motivations, inner conflicts and personal histories in a safe context can mobilize greater self-awareness, flexibility, and changes to problematic or painful modes of relating to ourselves and to others. I aim to foster a collaborative and responsive therapeutic environment informed by the specific needs and goals of each of my patients. I take a strengths-based approach and work to scaffold and reinforce the resources that each client brings with them.

Whether you're facing a crisis, struggling with the effects of trauma, or are feeling stuck in patterns that are holding you back, you don't have to go it alone. We will begin wherever you're at, and go together from there. Our work will be a collaborative effort to identify and build on what is working, as well as to work through and change the things that are not. I have extensive experience treating individuals with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and challenges adjusting to life changes.

Erin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), grief and loss, fertility, and pregnancy loss. Erin specializes in working with clients from adolescence to adulthood. She is a certified Daring Way Facilitator, a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, focusing on self-compassion, shame resilience, and vulnerability. Erin is also a Gottman trained therapist providing couples' therapy.

My practice focuses on fertility / pregnancy / postpartum (incl. new dads & LGBTQ families), grief (more specifically early mother loss, and pregnancy loss), and relationship issues. Throughout our lives, we're constantly relating to one another, and building new experiences from these relationships. Unfortunately, relationships can also often feel unfulfilling, or make us feel neglected somehow. They can bring on feelings of loss and disconnection. Then, life in general starts to feel unfulfilling. This can be changed. Psychotherapy, where the fit between patient / therapist is right, can be an immensely powerful tool.

Are you wondering if it's possible to experience more satisfaction in your life? Have you noticed repetitive, self-defeating patterns hindering success in relationships or at work? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Unsure of exactly what you want for yourself? Considering therapy is the first step toward feeling better and finding fulfillment. In more than twenty-five years of practice, the transformative power of psychotherapy still impresses me. I view therapy as collaboration. Together, we will deepen your capacity for self-reflection, remove obstacles blocking you from reaching your full potential, and to finding your authentic self.

Experiencing fertility challenges and pregnancy loss is an overwhelming and isolating experience. Feelings such as grief and loss, frustration, and hopelessness can complicate all aspects of one's life. Navigating these specific challenges is overwhelming and answers can be hard to find.

There are times we find ourselves struggling and straying further away from the life we want. We’re juggling daily demands, roles, and relationships, while just trying to keep it together. We begin to recognize that old ways of coping aren’t working anymore. Although painful and uncomfortable, this awareness is where growth and healing begins. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to freely explore and be curious about what has brought you here. We will work on deepening awareness, building skills, and making meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals - a therapy that enlightens and empowers.

We all go through challenging times in our lives no matter how old we are. Some people choose to deal with those challenges on their own and some make the choice to share their thoughts, concerns, pain, anger, frustrations with someone who can help them go through resolution of their conflicts. Being in treatment can change profoundly someone’s life only if one wishes and wants to do that.

I aim to help people reduce suffering while nurturing strengths and potential in a collaborative pursuit of their life goals. Together we'll create a comfortable, culturally sensitive environment where you can work on increasing self-compassion through understanding your thoughts and behaviors. Using validation and change strategies, I can help you achieve your goals and build meaning in your life. I help clients work through emotion dysregulation that occurs from personality disorders, PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as the demands of our face-paced, sometimes stressful, world.

Are you having difficulty coping with life stressors or transitions? Are you struggling with overwhelming worry or sadness? Are you feeling stuck in frustrating relationship patterns, or engaging in self-defeating behaviors? I am here to help you address and overcome barriers to achieving greater emotional well-being. Together we will explore these challenges, understand your unique needs, and develop your personal goals towards lasting change and fulfillment.
