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?

How does therapy differ from psychiatry?
