About therapy

What is therapy?

Therapy is a collaborative and supportive process where you work with a licensed professional to explore personal challenges, develop insights, and create actionable steps toward your goals. At Nurture Maternal Health, therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to address mental health concerns, especially those related to motherhood.

Is online therapy effective for Ohio mothers?

Yes! Online therapy is proven to be as effective as in-person therapy for many people. At Nurture Maternal Health, our virtual therapy sessions are designed to create a personal, compassionate experience tailored to your needs, wherever you are in Ohio.

How does therapy differ from psychiatry?

Therapy focuses on talk-based strategies to address emotional and psychological challenges, while psychiatry involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication. Our therapists do not prescribe medication but can collaborate with psychiatric providers for a comprehensive care plan.

How does CBT help mothers struggling with postpartum depression or anxiety?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to depression and anxiety. By learning practical tools and techniques, Ohio mothers can build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and regain confidence during motherhood.
