Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health Therapy in Wisconsin

Melinda Pedersen, perinatal therapist in Wisconsin, symbolizing hope and healing

Hope

"Hope is being able to

see that there is light

despite all the darkness"

~ Desmond Tutu

You Are Not Alone

You are unique and we believe in therapy that works for you! 

 

Cup of Thoughts Therapy focuses on perinatal mental health and trauma. We’re passionate about supporting new moms, experienced moms, and parents navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, including those healing through a perinatal loss. Mixed emotions can surface at any time, and it can feel isolating even when you’re surrounded by others. It’s okay to not feel okay.

 

Reaching out for support is a wonderful act of courage and strength.
