Searching for a therapist after experiencing birth or perinatal trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. In this special mini-series episode, we break down exactly how to find a therapist who is trained in both perinatal mental health and trauma, so you can get the support you deserve.

In this episode, we cover:
🔹 The best qualifications & trainings to look for in a therapist
🔹 Why both perinatal mental health & trauma training matter
🔹 Where to search for a specialized therapist (PSI, Touchstone, & more)
🔹 What questions to ask in a free consultation
🔹 How to tell if a therapist is the right fit for you

We also touch on realistic options if you don’t have access to a highly specialized provider, because at the end of the day, a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in healing.
