Perinatal and Trauma Therapy in Chesapeake, VA
You expected pregnancy or motherhood to feel meaningful, maybe even joyful. Instead, you feel anxious, on edge, or numb.
I help anxious moms and moms-to-be who feel stuck in fear around pregnancy and birth feel grounded and unshaken again, so they can experience motherhood with more connection, confidence, and a healthier emotional foundation for their family.
When Your Body Feels Like It's Always Bracing for the Worst
You might replay what happened during a past birth, feel your body panic at appointments, or constantly brace for something to go wrong. Maybe you feel numb or disconnected, like you're not fully here for this pregnancy or your baby.
I help overwhelmed women manage anxiety, trauma responses, and fear of pregnancy or motherhood so they can feel calm in their body, present with their baby, and confident in themselves as mothers.
What If Therapy Helped You Feel Safe in Your Body Again?
Clients often say that our sessions feel like the first place they've been able to name what's happening in their body without shame or pressure. They describe finally feeling like their anxiety makes sense, and that there's a path forward that doesn't involve just white-knuckling it through pregnancy or motherhood.
Grounded, Trauma-Informed, and Here to Help You Feel Steady Again
I'm Karen Carroll, a Licensed Professional Counselor and former Certified Nurse-Midwife who understands both the medical realities of birth and the emotional toll it can take. I work with anxious, trauma-affected women using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that helps you calm your nervous system, process what you've been through, and feel safer in your body.
