Perinatal therapist

Compassionate support for women navigating the the journey to parenthood in California

Helping you feel reconnected, hopeful, and grounded as you heal from loss, trauma, anxiety and all the challenges accompanying motherhood.

I’m Dr. Lauren Jensen, infertility and perinatal psychologist.

I want you to know that you don’t have to do this all on your own.

The journey from conception to parenthood can be challenging for a number of reasons. For many parents it can involve unexpected changes in mood and responses to hormones, overwhelming anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, unmet expectations, relationship challenges, shifts in identity, and much more. My goal is to help you find peace and joy even in the darkest and most challenging moments throughout motherhood. I strive to create an environment of warmth, collaboration, and authenticity coupled with expertise in reproductive and perinatal mental health.

Compassionate care as you embark on each step of your journey.

Pregnancy and Baby Loss Group

Pregnancy and Baby Loss Group

Losing a pregnancy or a baby can be one of the most devastating experiences. The grief and trauma may be persistent and long-lasting, often misunderstood and unrecognized by those around you. For many parents, the feelings of anger, despair, and loneliness don’t resolve on their own.

This group focuses on processing the traumatic and painful emotions that accompany a loss during the perinatal period. Through journal writing, expressive arts, and EMDR, group members will process the physical and emotional experience of losing a baby. This intimate 8-week group aims to provide a safe space to process the wide range of emotions that can occur after a loss. Group members will develop new coping strategies and reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness as they heal and move forward.

This group is appropriate for all grieving parents, regardless of gender, length of the pregnancy, or how recent the loss. It is facilitated by myself and Rachel Rabinor, LCSW.

We are currently enrolling for our fall group which starts onSeptember 10. Groups are held via Zoom on Wednesdays from 4:30-6pm.
