Postpartum & Maternal Mental Health Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

  • There are several effective types of therapy for postpartum mental health, but EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is especially powerful when birth or postpartum involved trauma, fear, or overwhelming stress. EMDR helps the brain process distressing memories and sensations in a way that allows for healing—without needing to relive the pain. Many mothers I work with find EMDR life-changing, especially when dealing with traumatic births, medical complications, or persistent anxiety after delivery. It can be used alongside other approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based techniques, depending on your needs. The most important factor is working with a therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health and understands the unique emotional landscape of new motherhood.

  • Improving your mental health after birth starts with giving yourself permission to need support. This season of life is both beautiful and incredibly demanding. It’s okay if you don’t feel like yourself—many mothers don’t. Prioritize sleep where you can, fuel your body with nutritious food, move your body gently, and ask for help without guilt. Therapy can be a game-changer, especially with someone who understands postpartum challenges. Processing your birth story, navigating identity shifts, and working through anxiety or depression are all valid reasons to reach out. You’re not meant to do this alone—and you don’t have to.

  • Postpartum depression often shows up as sadness, hopelessness, lack of motivation, and emotional numbness, while postpartum anxiety involves excessive worry, racing thoughts, and a constant feeling of being on edge. Many mothers experience a mix of both. If you're feeling overwhelmed, restless, or like you're not enjoying motherhood the way you thought you would, it's important to know that you're not alone—and support is available.

  • Yes, absolutely. Many of my clients attend virtual therapy sessions from the comfort of their home—even with their baby nearby. I understand the realities of motherhood and create a supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are, whether you’re feeding, rocking, or just trying to make it through the day. Your healing doesn’t have to wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

Couples Therapy for Expecting & New Parents

  • Couples therapy for expecting parents focuses on strengthening the relationship during one of life’s biggest transitions—becoming a family. Using approaches like the Gottman Method, therapy helps partners improve communication, manage conflict, prepare for parenting roles, and stay emotionally connected before and after the baby arrives. It’s a space to get on the same page and build a strong foundation for your growing family.

  • While every couple’s journey is different, research shows that 70–75% of couples who engage in structured, evidence-based approaches—like the Gottman Method—report significant improvements in their relationship. Success depends on factors like commitment to the process, timing, and willingness from both partners to grow and work together.

  • Absolutely. Couples therapy isn’t just for those in crisis—it can be incredibly beneficial for new or dating couples who want to build healthy communication patterns early on. Therapy can help you understand each other’s values, attachment styles, and expectations, and prevent long-term conflict before it starts.

  • Couples therapy may not be appropriate when there is active domestic violence, ongoing substance abuse that isn’t being treated, or when one partner is unwilling to engage honestly in the process. In those cases, individual therapy or safety planning may be a better first step. Your well-being always comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mental Health Immigration Evaluations

  • The cost depends on the type of case. At Blueprint Therapy, the fee is $950 for U Visa, T Visa, VAWA, and Asylum cases, and $1100 for Hardship Waivers (I-601 or I-601A). A $200 deposit is required to book your appointment, and payment plans are available. Your finalized report is typically delivered within 10 business days and sent directly to your attorney.

  • An immigration psychological evaluation is a clinical assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional to support an immigration case. It documents the emotional, psychological, and relational impact of trauma, separation, or hardship. These evaluations are commonly used in VAWA, U Visa, T Visa, Asylum, and Hardship Waiver cases and are submitted as evidence to immigration courts by your attorney. They are trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and tailored to the legal standards required for your specific case.

  • Mental health alone does not disqualify someone from obtaining legal immigration status. In fact, many immigration cases—like VAWA, U Visas, Asylum, and Hardship Waivers—depend on understanding the emotional or psychological impact of past trauma or the consequences of potential separation. A well-documented mental health evaluation can actually strengthen your case by helping the court understand your experiences and the risks involved.

  • During the evaluation, you’ll be asked about your background, immigration history, family relationships, past traumatic experiences, and how your mental health has been impacted. The goal is not to judge you, but to understand your emotional story and how it connects to your case. Evaluations are conducted in a compassionate, respectful way—either in English or Spanish—and are designed to help you feel safe and supported while telling your story.
