Compassionate Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Infertility In Nutley, New Jersey
What if I told you that feeling confident and empowered in your journey was possible?
Whether you're navigating infertility, trying to conceive, adjusting to pregnancy, or surviving the exhaustion of postpartum life, the struggle is real. In my work I see how culture, faith, and generational expectations can shape your experience. Maybe you've been told to pray on it, be grateful, or just push through. Maybe asking for help feels like a weakness, especially when emotional needs take a back seat. And yet, you’re here, seeking support. That matters. In communities where mental health is often minimized, it can feel radical to say, I'm not okay. But your healing doesn’t have to wait for permission.
You're going through one of the biggest transitions of your life. Whether it’s facing the grief of infertility, the anxiety of a high-risk pregnancy, or the overwhelm of postpartum, you deserve to be witnessed, supported, and tended to. I offer a space where your full self: your doubts, your strengths, and your fears, can exist without judgment. I help you quiet the noise, notice your needs, and learn to honor them without shame or guilt.
You don’t have to go through this alone. My approach is trauma-informed, inclusive, and rooted in the belief that your whole self matters.
“What I am is good enough if I would only be it openly.”
— Carl Rogers
Reconnecting With Yourself
If you've never been to therapy, you're not alone AND you're in the right place. Therapy can feel unfamiliar, especially when you're used to showing up for everyone else. Whether you're navigating postpartum challenges, infertility, or just trying to reclaim a sense of self, this is where your healing begins.
At Calma Counseling, you are the heart of the process. As a Latina therapist, I honor not only your individual journey but also the cultural, familial, and community that shape it. You might be holding stories that were never spoken aloud, grief around infertility, anxiety that feels too heavy to share, or an overall sense of disconnection. Therapy offers space for those experiences to breathe. I’ll guide you in exploring your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and internal experiences with curiosity, not judgment.
Together, we'll tend to:
Identity shifts in motherhood and womanhood
Fertility challenges and the emotional toll of trying to conceive
Postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma or other conditions
Relationship dynamics and intergenerational patterns
Unmet emotional needs and values waiting to be reclaimed
We'll also gently explore how culture, expectations, and community narratives have shaped your experience, without needing to explain or justify them. This is a space where both healing and heritage are welcome.
Therapy isn't just about looking back, it’s about reimagining your future through a lens of compassion, clarity, and courage. You don't have to do it alone.
