Perinatal Anxiety Therapist Serving Mothers Across Dallas, TX

Becoming a mother, no matter how many times you’ve done it, is a profound experience—emotionally, physically, and mentally. While there are plenty of reasons to feel excitement during this time, you may also be faced with racing thoughts, intense self-doubt, and even straight fear. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you’re not alone. At Emily Blessinger Counseling, I specialize in helping new and expecting mothers in Dallas, Texas, navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy and postpartum as a perinatal anxiety therapist.

What Does a Perinatal Anxiety Therapist Do?

Anxiety during the perinatal period is incredibly common but often goes undiscussed. You may be silently suffering, wondering if you're the only one who feels this way. Please know you don’t have to push through alone. A perinatal anxiety therapist is trained to support individuals through the unique mental health challenges that arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. This specialized therapy is focused on helping you:

• Understand what perinatal anxiety is and why it happens
• Reduce intrusive or racing thoughts
• Cope with fear around childbirth, motherhood, or your baby’s well-being
• Build emotional resilience and develop calming strategies
• Address past trauma, difficult births, or pregnancy loss, if present

Therapy around perinatal mental health offers a space to breathe, cry, reflect, and heal with someone who truly understands this season of life. I take a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to therapy, integrating tools like EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness to help you feel grounded and in control again.
