What is counseling for miscarriage & pregnancy loss?

Miscarriage counseling, also known as pregnancy loss counseling, provides emotional support and therapeutic care to those affected by miscarriage. All too often the people around you do not understand that a miscarriage is a loss of a child.

 

Pregnancy Loss Therapy and Miscarriage Counseling can help you...

 

  • Work through feelings of sadness, guilt, anger, or helplessness.

  • Manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may arise after miscarriage.

  • Reduce Relationship Strain by strengthening communication and helping you to support one another even though your grief journeys may be very different. 

  • Address fears about future pregnancies and help develop strategies for coping with the uncertainty.

  • Feel less alone as you work through your grief with the support of a professional.

When should you seek Miscarriage Counseling for Pregnancy Loss?

For many, miscarriage can feel isolating and misunderstood, even by well-meaning family and friends. Counseling offers a judgment-free environment where your feelings are acknowledged and supported.

When to Seek Miscarriage Counseling

You’re struggling to cope with the emotional pain of pregnancy loss. 

  • Feelings of sadness, guilt, or anger are interfering with daily life.

  • You and your partner are having difficulty communicating or coping together.

  • You’re experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma related to the miscarriage.

  • Concerns about future pregnancies are causing significant stress or fear.

How Does Miscarriage Counseling Work?

 

Counseling for miscarriage often begins with a thorough assessment of your emotional and mental health. Your therapist will work with you to explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, and create a safe space to grieve. If you’re part of a couple, joint sessions may be helpful to address how the miscarriage has affected your relationship. Sessions may be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs and emotional state. Many find that working with a therapist during the grieving process provides much-needed relief and support.

From Nicholas DeMetro, ESQ. Montclair, NJ

I have been a Divorce Attorney and Mediator for over 25 years. When a couple comes to me and there is a chance their marriage might be saved...I send them directly to Angela DeCandia. She is a compassionate, engaging, talented couple therapist with unprecedented success. She has helped couples with the most challenging situations. I highly recommend Angela. 

 

From S & J - Maplewood, NJ

​We started working with Angela shortly after learning of my husband's infidelity.  I thought there was no way to recover.  The work we did with Angela was transformative. I can honestly say that we did more than rebuild trust - we were able to rebuild the foundation of our marriage, learn how we got to where we did and become closer as a result. I cannot say enough. 

From L & J - New York, NY

Angela has a very special approach to working with grief - especially the loss of a child which she helped us understand - is different.  Our loss was overwhelming and tearing us apart. We learned to take space and have compassion for each other since wee grieved in such different ways. It's hard to describe. She helped us individually and integrated the individual grief work into our couples' work. Step by step -day by day - we are healing.
