Becoming a parent is one of the most life-changing experiences a person can go through - filled with joy, but often accompanied by emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt. At BrainBody Wellness Counseling, we offer perinatal and postnatal counseling to support you through every stage of this transition.

​

Our licensed counselor, Amanda Nomicos, LPC, specializes in helping new and expecting parents navigate the mental and emotional challenges of parenthood with compassion, expertise, and personalized care.

​

Why Support Matters During the Perinatal and Postnatal Period

 

The time before and after birth is often referred to as the perinatal period- and it’s a time when your emotional health matters more than ever. Between hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, body changes, and the pressure of parenting, many new parents feel overwhelmed or unsure of how to cope.

​

If you’re experiencing mood swings, persistent worry, sadness, irritability, or a sense of disconnection, know that you’re not alone—and help is available.

​

We offer perinatal and postnatal therapy in Scottsdale, AZ, and statewide via telehealth, to support your mental health, confidence, and ability to bond with your baby and partner.

 

Specialized Therapy for Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

Our perinatal specialist, Amanda Nomicos, LPC, is experienced in treating:

​

• Postpartum depression

• Postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts

• Birth trauma

• Adjustment challenges for new parents

• Perinatal grief or loss

• Identity shifts during early parenthood

 

Using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and somatic-based approaches, Amanda creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel more empowered as a parent.

 

A Holistic Approach to Parenthood Support

At BrainBody Wellness Counseling, we believe that your mental health during pregnancy and after childbirth deserves the same care as your physical health. That’s why we offer a holistic approach - treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

​

Our sessions may include tools to support:

• Emotional regulation and self-compassion

• Relationship dynamics with partners or family

• Physical stress and body-based responses

• Identity development and role transitions

• Healthy attachment and bonding with your baby

 

Whether you’re a first-time parent or expanding your family, we meet you where you are—with warmth, clinical expertise, and respect for your individual journey.

 

You Deserve Support—And It’s Okay to Ask for It

 

We know it’s not easy to reach out, especially when you feel like you “should” have it all figured out. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Counseling offers you a space to feel seen, supported, and validated - without judgment.

​

Our goal is to help you feel emotionally grounded, confident, and connected - to yourself, your baby, and your life.
