"Hope is being able to

see that there is light

despite all the darkness"

~ Desmond Tutu

You Are Not Alone

You are unique and we believe in therapy that works for you! 

 

Cup of Thoughts Therapy focuses on maternal mental health and trauma. We're passionate about providing support to new moms, experienced moms, and healing through a perinatal loss. During prenatal, postpartum, and beyond, mixed feelings can show up at any given time and it can feel isolating, even if you’re surrounded by others. It’s ok to not feel ok.

 

Reaching out for support is a wonderful act of courage and strength.
