Online therapy in PA, VA, MD, and FL
Finding your way through the grief.
IF YOU’VE EXPERIENCED A MISCARRIAGE OR LOSS OF A CHILD, WE ARE DEEPLY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Everyone's experience with pregnancy loss is deeply personal and there is no "right or wrong way" to feel. Whatever emotions you're experiencing are valid.
Many people describe feeling isolated after a miscarriage because pregnancy loss often isn't discussed openly. Friends and family may not know how to support you, or they might unintentionally minimize your grief with comments like "you can try again" or "it wasn't meant to be."
Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, whether this was your first pregnancy or you've experienced multiple miscarriages, we're here to support you with compassion and understanding.
There is a way forward to heal.
Here’s how we can Help

Common Questions About Miscarriage & Loss Counseling
-
There's no "right time" to seek support after pregnancy loss. Some people benefit from counseling immediately, while others may not feel ready until weeks or months later.
If you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, relationship strain, or trouble functioning in daily life, counseling can help. Even if you're coping well, therapy can provide a dedicated space to process your feelings about your loss.
-
There is no standard timeline for grief. The intensity of feelings typically lessens over time, but certain triggers—like due dates, anniversaries, or seeing pregnant women—may bring up emotions again.
This is completely normal. Grief isn't something you "get over"; rather, you learn to integrate the experience into your life story. Counseling can help you navigate this process in a healthy way.
-
Self-blame and guilt are very common reactions to pregnancy loss. Many women wonder if something they did or didn't do caused the miscarriage.
Medical professionals consistently emphasize that the vast majority of miscarriages (especially those that occur early in pregnancy) result from chromosomal abnormalities and are not preventable. Therapy can help address feelings of guilt and move toward self-compassion.
-
Explaining pregnancy loss to children depends on their age and developmental stage. We can provide guidance on age-appropriate ways to discuss miscarriage with your children, helping them understand and process their own feelings about the loss of a sibling while managing your grief.
