Therapy for Birth Trauma in Utica, NY
Online Counseling in Utica, NY
“Having navigated complex birth experiences firsthand, I can tell you that birth trauma isn't about who's at fault. It's about the very real way your experience felt, and accessing the support you need to heal.”
– Kait Towner, LMHC, RPT-S, CCPT, PMH-C
You're constantly battling the intrusive thoughts of trauma. Life has truly worn you down, and all you want is to simply feel well again.
Can this nightmare just be over already?
Ignoring the past isn’t working. Thinking about the future isn’t working. Nothing is working.
You’re just so tired and exhausted of thinking how your pregnancy didn't go as planned. You’re ready to give up.
Your birth experience keeps replaying in your mind, like a broken record you can't turn off.
But what if you didn’t give up just yet. Hear me out.
Imagine the constant painful memories - gone.
Nightmares - gone. PTSD - gone.
Your relationships are grounded in the here and now versus the past. You’re able to focus in your career, you’re taking care of yourself again, and you’re even able to go to your baby's pediatrician without having a panic attack.
You deserve this and that hopeful future is closer than you think.
How does this work? No instant miracle, just a real path.
By actually figuring out the root of what’s going on, what’s keeping you stuck in thoughts about your birth trauma.
Without ignoring your postpartum PTSD and just “moving on.”
Just a method that finally helps you in working through your traumatic birth experience or pregnancy loss and moving forward with hope and healing.
A method that’s been the missing piece- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Who this type of therapy is for:
→ You’re just going through the motions- on autopilot, doing daily duties, but life feels off-script.
→Spending too much time running through every single minute of your pregnancy and birth experience.
→Doing the bare minimum in life and avoiding things that bring back the traumatic delivery - like that specific hospital scent, or even just the beeping sounds that remind you of the monitors.
→Work is a chore. Relationships are a chore. Taking care of yourself is a chore - it’s all a chore.
→You’ve tried “just ignoring the past” and “letting it go” - but nothing has worked.
