Expert Support for Your Mental Health After Pregnancy Loss

Our Approach

At Sarah Cline & Associates, we stand alongside our clients, guiding them through the journey of healing from pregnancy loss and perinatal grief with empathy and understanding.

We help clients recognize and process patterns in thoughts and feelings that may contribute to their pain, all within a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

Our approach to perinatal grief counseling instills hope, emphasizing that healing is possible and that a sense of well-being can be gradually restored. We draw on our expertise to help clients understand the profound impact of loss on mental health, equipping them with tools to navigate their grief more effectively.

Compassion is at the heart of our perinatal grief counseling. We encourage self-compassion and gentle acceptance, helping clients challenge the notion that they must handle grief perfectly or that their struggles lessen their worth.

Additionally, we support clients in questioning and overcoming societal expectations around grief, empowering them to move forward in ways that honor both their experience and their well-being.

A Typical Session

During a 55-60 minute session, your therapist will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share your experiences. You are encouraged to discuss your progress, challenges, and areas where you need support.

The therapist will listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and offer insights or feedback. Sessions are an open dialogue and may include:

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Understanding and validating your trauma experiences.
  • Mindfulness Techniques: Utilizing body scanning and guided imagery to process emotions.
  • Cognitive Restructuring: Practicing skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
  • Emotional Regulation: Learning techniques to manage and soothe intense emotions.
  • Grounding Strategies: Developing practical methods to stay present and reduce anxiety.

Our compassionate counselors are here to support you through your healing journey, helping you to reclaim your sense of safety and empowerment. At Sarah Cline & Associates, we are committed to walking alongside you as you navigate the path to recovery and resilience.
