Our Therapists
For a compassionate team in Park Ridge that specializes in reproductive mental health, look no further than Crescent Moon Therapy.
This specialized form of counseling is centered around coping with the psychological effects of a traumatic delivery. We utilize “bottom-up” therapeutic approaches to address the root of your trauma. Your trained birth trauma therapist in Park Ridge will create a safe, nurturing space for you to be vulnerable with your experiences.
Together, you will express your feelings, uncover and process your emotions, and overcome any other issues relating to the traumatic birth. Ultimately, the goal of these therapeutic interventions is to help you heal from your trauma, improve your mental wellness, and provide you with coping strategies that you can use in the future.
Absolutely. Not only do we encourage fathers to take an active role in getting their families the support they need, but we understand that a traumatic birth can also be traumatic for male partners. Perhaps the mother or child faced a nearly fatal obstacle, which can inspire feelings of guilt, fear, and more. No matter what, we want to encourage you to heal as well as your partner.
Typically, Crescent Moon Therapy prioritizes telehealth over face-to-face appointments. Eliminating the need for travel allows our clients to receive the same level of experienced and compassionate care as they would in an in-person session, all while maintaining their daily routine.
It is possible for us to organize in-person sessions with you occasionally, but this will be determined by our team’s schedule. We can discuss this as a potential solution for you during your consultation with our team.

For Fathers Seeking Guidance
As a new father, you should feel prepared to care for your new child, which involves healing from your trauma associated with your partner’s birth. If you need assistance in building a bond with your new infant and overcoming feelings of parent guilt that often arise after birth complications, we are here to support you.
It is okay to feel overwhelmed by birth trauma, especially since, as the paternal figure, you will never be able to understand what this experience was like for your partner. Even if you cannot fully comprehend her feelings, that does not mean that yours are any less worthy of attention.
If you are ready to begin your first steps toward perinatal mental health, book an appointment with us today.
