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.

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.

Eliana & Rick, Somerset, NJ
We booked the venue, got the dresses, the tuxes, the flowers, but we never really talked about our expectations for having a family. I wanted to wait and launch my career and my fiancé, 8 years my senior, wanted to start right away. It was touch and go for a while, but our therapist helped us listen to each other and find a common path. I think should do counseling before their marriage
