Pregnancy, Stillbirth, Infant & Child Loss Counseling
Your child matters. Your grief belongs here.
Losing a pregnancy, baby, or child can leave you trying to navigate a life you never imagined. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, angry, numb—or unsure what you feel at all.
At Unapologetic Counseling & Wellness, there is room for your story, your love, and whatever you’re carrying today. Together, we can find ways to navigate life after loss without putting a deadline on your grief.
Individual and couples counseling in Reading, Pennsylvania, and virtually throughout Pennsylvania.
Support for the loss you’re carrying
Pregnancy Loss
Support after miscarriage, recurrent loss, ectopic or molar pregnancy, or termination for medical reasons (TFMR). There is no minimum number of weeks that makes your experience worthy of care.
Stillbirth & Infant Loss
Space to grieve a baby who died during pregnancy, at birth, in the NICU, or during infancy—and to talk about the experiences that may feel difficult to share elsewhere.
Child Loss
Support following the death of a child at any age, whether the loss was sudden or followed an illness or medical complications.
You don’t have to recognize your exact experience in these descriptions to reach out. We can talk about what you need and whether working together feels right.
You don’t need a clear goal or the right words before your first session. We can begin with wherever you are.
When grief touches everything
Loss can affect your relationships, routines, sense of identity, and the way you think about the future. Counseling gives us space to explore what feels hardest for you, including:
Guilt, anger, anxiety, numbness, or unanswered questions
Distressing memories of medical care, birth, or the circumstances of your loss
Different grieving styles and changes in your relationship
Pregnancy announcements, baby showers, holidays, and unexpected reminders
Returning to work and navigating other people’s questions
Due dates, birthdays, and anniversaries
Pregnancy or parenting after loss
Remembering your child in ways that feel meaningful to you
What working together feels like
You don’t have to make your grief easier for anyone else
Here, you can say your child’s name, talk about what happened, share a memory, or admit that you don’t want to talk about any of it today.
Our work will follow your needs. Some sessions may focus on your grief and your relationship with your child. Others may involve finding ways to manage overwhelming moments, communicate with loved ones, or get through a difficult week.
As a perinatal mental health certified provider with personal experience of pregnancy loss, I bring both clinical knowledge and an understanding that this work is deeply personal. My experience does not tell me what yours feels like. Your story will guide our work.
There is room here for grief, love, uncertainty, and moments of joy—sometimes all in the same conversation.
It’s okay to feel nervous about reaching out
Talking to someone new about your loss can feel vulnerable. A free consultation gives us a chance to connect, answer your questions, and talk about what you’re looking for.
You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, you are welcome to reach out.
