Pregnancy and the start of parenthood, whether this is your first or third child, is an important time in our lives. Not only for the ongoing health and well-being of mothers, but also for the family as a whole. Women, partners, and siblings in the family benefit from identification of stressors or symptoms and support around managing feelings and moods with a new baby. Especially in the postpartum period, but also during the fertility journey and pregnancy when so much changes for everyone involved, therapeutic support helps the whole family thrive. 

This may include:

• helping manage stressors and emotions during and after pregnancy
• navigating changes in relationships
• introducing baby to sibling(s)
• postpartum depression/anxiety or other mood related issues
• birth trauma and recovery
• adapting to new parenthood

The therapists at the Ardent Grove Clinic are passionate about supporting mothers, birthing people, and families make the transition to new parenthood and are honored to support all those we serve through this journey.

EMDR or Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is in advanced therapeutic technique used to address any type of traumatic experience that affects a person. Through generous donations and grants, every therapist at Ardent Grove undergoes training and certification for EMDR therapy. EMDR can benefit anyone at any age and can help heal or process a single experience to significant, repeated traumas. You don't have to sit with your discomfort and pain, recovery is possible. EMDR can also help move past fears, such as public speaking and aid in sports performance. Contact us below to learn more.  

Therapists at the Ardent Grove Clinic are passionate about treating children, teens, and young adults through various forms of therapy. This is a unique time in a person’s life. Therapy can help guide teens and young adults to a  better understanding of themselves, of family dynamics, managing relationships, and developing their own ways to manage stressors. Often, a youth or young adult has never had a private, safe place to discuss how they’re feeling or what they’re attempting to accomplish in their life. By providing an open, trusting environment, therapists at the Ardent Grove Clinic are able to provide individualized support to young people, fostering healthy changes and growth. And in addition to talk therapy, therapists also offer play therapy and Sandplay therapy to our clients.

Grief and loss is all around us. Whether a death-related loss or not, at Ardent Grove we understand the many layers and complexities of loss. While grief and loss can take a toll on our mental health and resemble many other mental health disorders, the treatment is also very different from other mental health needs. Grieving is not something that needs to be fixed. Many people are surprised and even ashamed to admit the many differing emotions arising out of their grief. You may feel that you are “going crazy” or that “you are a bad person” for having the feelings you are having in your grief. There are lots of “should's” and “supposed to's” in our world that keep grieving people stuck. Our therapists can help hold space for your many emotions and help you to make sense of what is coming up in your own grief processing. They can help you to get the support and resources that you need to make it through this challenging time while feeling less isolated and alone.

A family is the healthiest and strongest when all member feel valued, safe, and trusted. By incorporating all family members into healing conversations and working through past hurts, families are able to thrive. Through therapy, couples and families can identify problems and improve interactions between adults, children, siblings, in-laws, and other impacted relationships. Therapists on the Ardent Grove therapy team are able to help you define and meet your relational goals regardless of how you define your family as we are always working to provide safer spaces for LGBTQ+ families. 

 As an egalitarian and anti-oppressive organization, Ardent Grove welcomes clients from all backgrounds, including those who identify on the LGBT+/queer spectrum. We are committed to learning, growing, and providing affirming services to all. LGBTQIA affirming therapy is not only about being welcoming to clients of diverse identities, it is also about creating and holding space for exploration, validation, non-judgment, and understanding. It means that no matter who you are, you deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and honor.
