Birth & Medical Trauma Therapy
Specialized birth and medical trauma therapy to help you heal from traumatic birth experiences, pregnancy complications, reproductive medical trauma, and the lasting emotional impact of difficult healthcare experiences.
What We Offer
Experiences surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and medical care can leave lasting emotional wounds long after the physical recovery has ended. Whether you're coping with a traumatic birth, pregnancy complications, a NICU stay, infertility-related medical trauma, pregnancy loss, or another distressing healthcare experience, healing is possible.
At Sana Psychotherapy, we provide specialized birth and medical trauma therapy for individuals and couples throughout New York and New Jersey via telehealth. We understand that trauma can affect the way memories are processed, leaving you feeling stuck in patterns of fear, hypervigilance, avoidance, or emotional overwhelm. Therapy can help you make sense of what happened and move toward healing.

Our Approach
Trauma can affect the way memories are stored, making it feel as though your mind and body are still responding to events that have already ended. Our goal is not to erase what happened, but to help your brain and nervous system process the experience so it no longer feels like you're reliving it.
Our approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. Depending on your needs, treatment may incorporate EMDR, relational psychotherapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and other trauma-informed therapies to support healing while honoring your unique experience.
Learn more about how EMDR therapy can help heal birth trauma in our article, Recovering from Birth Trauma with EMDR Therapy.
