About Parenthood Indecision Therapy

Parenthood Indecision Therapy provides support to women who are making decisions about how, when, and if they want to become parents. Oftentimes those who experience parenthood indecision have attempted to find clarity but continue to feel ambivalent, confused, anxious, or overwhelmed at the idea of having to make a choice about becoming a parent or raising children. Parenthood Indecision Therapy can be helpful for those who have experienced a consistent lack of clarity about whether or not they want to have children or for those who notice this decision is accompanied by a high level of emotional distress.

Parenthood Indecision keeps you stuck. Therapy can help you move forward.

Signs You May Be Experiencing Parenthood Indecision

Many of my clients find that decisions about parenthood are creating continued feelings of ambivalence, anxiety, guilt, and self-doubt that make it difficult for them to understand how they want to move forward. Parenthood Indecision Therapy may be helpful if you experience any of the following...

⇒You continue to feel stuck or uncertain after exploring this topic on your own
⇒A fear of regret is keeping you feeling “stuck” or unable to make a decision
⇒You feel like you're "falling behind" as others begin having children
⇒Circumstances are different than you imagined they would be
⇒You are overwhelmed by a sense of urgency to make the “right choice”
⇒Exploring the decision is bringing up unresolved issues and concerns
⇒You and your partner(s) have conflicting perspectives on becoming parents
⇒You feel like time is running out but still have idea what you want
⇒You always thought you’d want children but haven’t ever felt the desire

You deserve to feel comfortable and confident in the life you've built for yourself.
