Counselors

Fears can have a major impact on birth. Working with an art therapist, social worker, psychologist, counselor or someone in a similar field could make a big difference in your birth. The mind can effectively shut down a labor either temporarily or completely. If you have any major life issues going on it might be a good idea to deal with them in a professional setting.

Postpartum can also be problematic, especially if there is a traumatic birth. Getting counseling may be a life line in these cases.

See alphabetical listings below. Please contact the practitioner directly to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions. Be sure to let them know BirthLink sent you!
