Perinatal Mental Health Specialist Offering Telehealth Services in Dallas, TX
Motherhood is a wild ride full of emotional highs and lows. When anxiety, depression, or trauma step into the picture, having compassionate support can make all the difference. Here at Emily Blessinger Counseling, I offer specialized perinatal mental health services for individuals in Dallas, Texas, through secure and confidential telehealth therapy. Whether you're currently pregnant, postpartum, or grieving a recent loss, you deserve care that recognizes the emotional complexity of this stage of life. That’s what I’m here for!
What Does It Mean to Be a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist?
“Perinatal” refers to the period during pregnancy and throughout the postpartum period. While the changes experienced during this time are often viewed through a physical lens, the psychological and emotional shifts can be equally intense—and, for many, deeply distressing. As a perinatal mental health specialist, I work primarily with women and couples to navigate concerns around pregnancy and motherhood, including:
- Birth trauma, including difficult or frightening deliveries
- Pregnancy loss or child loss, and the complicated grief that follows
- Mood swings, identity shifts, and relationship strain in early parenting
- Perinatal anxiety and constant worry about the baby, birth, or your abilities as a parent
- Postpartum depression, emotional numbness, sadness, or disconnection after giving birth
In sessions with me, we create space for your story—without judgment, pressure, or expectations. Whether we’re tackling trauma through EMDR, managing symptoms with CBT, or simply exploring what it means to be a parent, therapy is tailored to your needs. And with the convenience of telehealth, you can attend from anywhere.
