“Why does this feel so hard?”
Even when you were prepared, even when it’s something you wanted—pregnancy and parenting can shake your sense of self. You may be feeling persistent sadness, irritability, or stress. Maybe you feel disconnected from your partner, baby, or support system. You might be grieving a loss of identity, struggling with body image concerns, or feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to “do it all” or to feel a certain way.
You might be silently asking yourself, “Will I ever feel like myself again?” or, “What kind of parent am I for feeling this way?”
At SAVI Therapy Group in Bolingbrook, we create space for your full experience, without judgment. You’re not failing. You’re human. And we’re here to support you through this journey.

Perinatal Counseling Methods in Bolingbrook, IL
EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS THAT SUPPORT REAL CHANGE
At SAVI Therapy Group, we use a range of clinically proven approaches to support you during the perinatal period, all grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect. Each approach is tailored to your unique experience, helping you move through this season with greater clarity, connection, and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier patterns of thinking and behavior during periods of stress or emotional struggle. It can be especially effective for managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or perfectionistic thinking in early parenthood.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
IPT focuses on strengthening communication, resolving relationship challenges, and improving support systems—especially helpful for couples and co-parents. It’s often used to address role transitions, grief, and changes in self-identity that arise during the perinatal period.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies
These therapies support emotional regulation and stress management by fostering present-moment awareness and self-compassion. Such practices can help reduce reactivity, ease overwhelm, and create more space for reflection and rest.
Gottman Couples Therapy
This is a research-based approach designed to help partners improve emotional connection, communication, and parenting collaboration. It provides practical tools to navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen the relationship during times of change.

Why Us
SAVI Therapy Group
Many things can be true at once—let’s get curious about the beliefs, challenges and dreams that shape your story.
Imagine sitting across from someone who truly sees you—not just your struggles, but your strength, fire, and hunger for change. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and felt stuck in endless check-ins, never quite reaching what brought you there in the first place. At SAVI Therapy Group, we do things differently.
We believe in therapy that moves you forward—warm yet direct, challenging yet supportive. We don’t just listen; we help you take action. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, or personal growth, we guide you with expertise, honesty, and deep respect for your story.
We honor and affirm the lived experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQIA2+ communities. Too often, therapy spaces weren’t built with you in mind. Here, you don’t have to explain your existence before you begin healing. Our diverse team—including women of color, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQIA+, and veterans—offers therapy that is engaging, effective, and transformative.
We built this practice for people like you—ready to dig in, understand how the past shapes the present, and create a fulfilling future.
Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward despite it. Let’s take that step together.
At SAVI Therapy Group, our work is guided by three core values:
Results-Based
Inclusive
Compassionate

Perinatal Counseling FAQs
What is perinatal therapy?
Perinatal therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to support your emotional and mental well-being during conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

At SAVI Therapy Group in Bolingbrook, we’re here to help you feel seen, supported, and more like yourself.
How do I know if I need perinatal therapy?
If feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emotional overload are affecting your ability to function, connect, or enjoy daily life, perinatal therapy in Bolingbrook may be a helpful next step. You might notice difficulty bonding with your baby, trouble sleeping, or feeling disconnected from your sense of self. These challenges are common—and they’re also treatable. If these feelings persist, reaching out for support in Bolingbrook can make a meaningful difference.
What can I expect during a perinatal therapy session?
Each session is tailored to you. You’ll have a safe, non-judgmental space to talk through what’s going on—whether it’s managing anxiety, navigating a relationship shift, or processing grief or trauma. Your perinatal therapist in Bolingbrook may use evidence-based tools like coping strategies, communication skills, mindfulness, or trauma-informed techniques, always based on your pace and needs.
How long does perinatal therapy last?
There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some clients come for a few months to manage a specific challenge, while others find ongoing support helpful throughout pregnancy and into early parenting. Your Bolingbrook therapist will work with you to regularly reassess your goals and make sure your perinatal therapy continues to meet your evolving needs.
Can perinatal therapy support couples, too?
Absolutely. Pregnancy, fertility issues, and postpartum transitions can impact both partners. Couples therapy can help strengthen communication, rebuild emotional connection, and support shared parenting goals. At SAVI Therapy Group in Bolingbrook, we offer perinatal counseling for individuals, couples, and co-parents—because no one should have to navigate these changes alone.
