If you’ve been searching for a prenatal therapist near you, you're likely looking for someone who truly understands the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy—not just the medical side of things. Our team at Thrive includes therapists trained in perinatal mental health who offer both in-person sessions and online therapy for clients across Illinois. Whether you're in the early weeks or nearing delivery, our goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and understood.

You can reach out to us directly or browse therapists through directories like:

A prenatal therapist is a mental health professional who specializes in supporting individuals and couples during pregnancy. Their work often includes helping you:

• Navigate mood changes, stress, and anxiety

• Process fears about birth or parenting

• Work through relationship changes

• Cope with prior fertility struggles or pregnancy losses

• Prepare emotionally for postpartum life

Pregnancy is a major life transition. Even if everything is going “according to plan,” it can still feel emotionally intense. Prenatal therapy offers you a safe space to express what’s on your mind—without judgment. If you’re feeling isolated or struggling with anxiety or depression during pregnancy, a prenatal therapist can help you feel more connected to yourself and more prepared for what’s ahead.

At Thrive, we understand that your mental health is just as important as your physical health during pregnancy. Our compassionate approach focuses on the whole you—not just your symptoms.

Therapy costs can vary depending on where you live, the therapist’s credentials, and whether you’re paying privately or using insurance.

At Thrive, we aim to make therapy accessible and transparent.

If cost feels like a barrier, please reach out. We believe that mental health support during pregnancy shouldn’t be a luxury—and we’ll work with you to explore all available options.
