TFMR Grief Therapy
Emotional Support For Individuals and Couples After Ending a Wanted Pregnancy
The grief of ending a wanted pregnancy is overwhelming - filled with love, loss, and questions that have no easy answers. You may feel isolated in your pain, struggling with guilt, anger, or the fear that no one truly understands.
You are still trying to process the “choice” that never felt like a choice at all. If you had a choice, you’d have chosen to have a healthy baby in your arms. Whether due to the health of the child or the health of mother, you are left with empty arms.
You grieve the child you never got to know. Your tears feel never ending. You are angry at the unfairness of it all. You feel betrayed by your body. You worry about getting pregnant again. You wonder if another pregnancy will actually lead to a healthy, living child. You are scared about what is next, asking yourself, “How do I tell people I’m no longer pregnant?” and, “How do I go on now?” You grapple with guilt, shame, and the fear of judgment from others when you are already judging yourself.
And you are left wondering… will I ever be “okay?”
You don’t have to carry this alone.
Therapy provides a safe space to process your emotions, honor your baby, and begin finding a way forward with both grief and love.
Not only am I a psychologist who specializes in grief counseling, I also am a TFMR mom.
Therapy Options
Healing After TFMRSM
Individual Therapy
$200 per session
Experiencing a termination for medical reasons (TFMR) can bring a complex mix of emotions, from deep grief and guilt to relief and uncertainty. Individual therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to process your loss, honor your baby, and navigate overwhelming emotions.
We will explore ways to manage trauma, cope with secondary losses (such as shifts in identity, relationships, or sense of security), and rebuild a fulfilling life while maintaining a meaningful connection with your child.
Counseling can also support you in navigating with confidence and clarity future pregnancies, parenting after loss, or the end of your fertility journey. Additionally, we can create a communication and safety plan to help you decide how, when, and with whom to share your story.
Healing Together After TFMRSM
Couples Therapy
$250 per session
When a couple suffers a termination for medical reasons (TFMR), both parents experience the loss. Both parents grieve. But the way they grieve, as well as how they experience the loss, can be very different. These differences can sometimes lead to isolation and create a rift between them.
I offer short-term, structured couples therapy (typically 2-4 sessions) to help partners process their loss together, improve communication, and honor differences in grieving styles.
Therapy can help partners reconnect emotionally and physically, navigate decisions about future pregnancies, and find ways to support each other through this profound loss. By fostering understanding and healing, couples can strengthen their relationship and move forward with compassion and connection.
