Women's health therapy in Beverly Hills: fertility, perinatal, and menopause
Some of the biggest changes a person goes through happen in the body and the family at the same time. Fertility treatment, pregnancy, a new baby, and the shifts of perimenopause and menopause bring feelings nobody prepares you for. Our Beverly Hills therapists specialize in these transitions, in person and online across California.
People come to us when
- Fertility treatment is consuming their life and straining their relationship
- Pregnancy is bringing up anxiety, grief, or fear rather than joy
- Postpartum life feels heavier, lonelier, or more frightening than expected
- They don’t feel like themselves and don’t recognize the person parenting their child
- Becoming a parent is stirring up their own childhood
- Perimenopause is affecting mood, sleep, memory, and their sense of who they are
- Cancer treatment or surgery brought on early, medically induced menopause
How we can help
-
Support through pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy loss, and the early years of motherhood.
-
The stress, grief, and relationship strain of trying to conceive, including IVF and repeated loss.
-
For the part nobody warns you about: who you become when you become a parent, and what surfaces from your own upbringing.
-
The emotional side of midlife hormonal change, including rage, anxiety, grief, and the loss of a familiar self, plus medically induced menopause after cancer treatment or surgery.
How therapy helps
These transitions touch the body, the nervous system, identity, and every close relationship at once, which is why generic therapy often misses them. Our clinicians draw on attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR where birth or medical trauma is involved, and family and relational work.
Our founder's doctoral research focused on maternal attachment and postpartum emotional health, and that work shapes how the whole practice cares for new parents.

Common questions
-
Many new parents experience anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, or a sense of being unlike themselves. These are common and treatable. If they're persistent or frightening, that's a reason to reach out rather than wait it out.
-
Yes. Therapy doesn't replace medical care, and we'll encourage you to work with your physician. What therapy addresses is the mood changes, anxiety, grief, and identity shifts that come with this stage.
-
Yes!

Yes. We work with individuals and couples through IVF, repeated loss, and the decisions that come with them.
