Therapy During Pregnancy
At Sarah Cline & Associates, we understand that pregnancy is a profound journey, filled with both joy and challenges. Our warm and motherly approach ensures you will always feel safe, welcomed, and understood.
We work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression symptoms such as irritability, constant worrying, difficulty sleeping, loss of interest, and difficulty concentrating.
These challenges can impact daily life, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Expert Support for Your Mental Health During Pregnancy
Our Approach
We believe in guiding our clients with compassion and without judgment. Our therapists come alongside you to help you understand yourself better.
We uncover patterns in thinking and behavior that may contribute to your challenges, always prioritizing compassion for both yourself and others.
Our goal is to help you challenge the notion of perfection and to reassure you that experiencing mental health struggles does not diminish your worth or capability.
A Typical Session
During a 55-60 minute session, your therapist will listen closely without judgment or agenda. You are encouraged to share updates about your well-being, what has been working, and what hasn’t. The therapist will ask questions and provide insights or feedback.
Sessions are an open dialogue and may include:
- Guided imagery
- Body scanning to tune into emotions
- Practicing skills to shift thinking patterns
- Learning techniques to regulate emotions and calm anxiety
- Working on concrete plans such as birth plans or postpartum support plans
Our compassionate counselors are here to support you through your pregnancy journey, helping you to feel empowered and prepared for the changes ahead.
