why we do what we do

The idea to start Re:birth was born out of my own personal experiences with miscarriage and (what felt like) the never ending struggle to become pregnant. Feeling like a complete failure and riddled with anxiety about becoming pregnant, I started looking for therapists who were trained specifically to help people like me. And boyyyy, did I struggle to find someone! I felt helpless, alone, and didn’t know where to turn. I kept thinking, “how in the world is anyone else supposed to find these people if I can’t even do it as a therapist?”

I decided to start my perinatal mental health training through Postpartum Support International in February of 2023 so that I could help be the person I was looking for, for someone else. Through that training and my own lived experience I found my true calling, and Re:birth was born. Many of the therapists at Re:birth have stories similar to mine, but of course those aren’t my stories to tell. My point is that at Re:birth, you’re not just clients who we schedule weekly and forget about. Your stories matter to us because at one point they were our stories, too.

I was looking for support to feel less alone, less afraid, and more hopeful about my future. I hope that we can do that for you.

If you’ve gotten this far, thanks so much for reading.
