Women continue to face unique challenges in our society. The "mental load of motherhood", a phrase coined by writer Jami Ingledue speaks to the difficulty we face as the default parent and primary decision makers regarding our children's wellbeing. This is made more complicated when as moms we also may have careers and care for aging parents.
Women also often cope with unique medical and psychological issues including postpartum depression, anxiety or difficulty adjusting to parenthood, infertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive-related disorders, and other health issues.Women are more prone to experience feelings of shame, or to develop anxiety and depression, often as a result of these stressors.
We are also often called upon to be in charge of monitoring the health of our committed relationships, thereby caring for everyone around us, often neglecting our own needs. The therapists at Women's Counseling of Nashua understand because we've been there, too. Make a commitment now to get the support you deserve.

I'm so fortunate to have a job that I love.
It's an honor to sit with my clients and serve as an active participant in helping them to problem solve around life's challenges.
I have witnessed so many of my clients find the courage to heal or work through current life issues or past wounds.
As therapists, our own personal struggles often drive our passions and inform our work with clients.
In 2009 I experienced a miscarriage, followed by a very anxiety-ridden pregnancy.
After the birth of my daughter a year later I also coped with postpartum anxiety with OCD traits.

Sometimes psychotherapy is enough to alleviate many symptoms of distress, often when caused by environmental factors like stress, relationship challenges, grief and loss, or major life changes and adjustments.
For many, however, there is an underlying genetic / biological process that contributes to, or perpetuates symptoms of depression, anxiety and other disorders.
Research shows that often, both psychotherapy and medication are indicated to maximize health and well-being.
Potential benefits of utilizing medications to address psychological discomfort may include a decrease in unwanted symptoms and improved daily functioning.

The adjustment to motherhood is one of the largest adjustments a woman will make in her lifetime.
So much time and attention is placed on the pregnancy and birth that much is lost for what comes next.
Many new mothers describe feeling that they are "in a fog" the first few months after birth due to the sleep deprivation and keeping up with feedings and baby's other needs.
The lack of time for self-care can be jarring, contributing to any postpartum mood disorders, feelings of isolation or overwhelm.

Perinatal loss, or miscarriage, is a sudden loss of a pregnancy before twenty weeks gestation (after 20 weeks, the loss is considered a stillbirth).
Many women and couples find themselves to be completely blindsided by the experience, as often there were no prior issues with the pregnancy or indication of a problem.
It is often a very lonely time for a woman or couple, as the grief can be overwhelming and family and friends may not know how to offer comfort.
It can also be an anxious time, as doubts about the ability to have children in the future may come in to mind.
