Perinatal Mental Health & Trauma 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 truly fits you!

​

At Cup of Thoughts Therapy, we specialize in mental health therapy during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood. This includes emotional challenges that can arise before, during, or after pregnancy, as well as experiences related to birth, loss, trauma, and parenting stress.

 

Mixed emotions can surface at any point in this journey. You may feel heavy, overwhelmed, disconnected, or isolated, even when surrounded by others. These experiences are more common than many people realize, and it’s completely okay to not feel okay.

​

Reaching out for support is a meaningful act of courage and an important step toward caring for yourself. You deserve compassionate, trauma-informed care that honors your story and meets you where you are.​
