Oh Baby?

As both parents and professionals, they offer a unique perspective on the challenges and joys of parenting while supporting the perinatal population.
In each episode, they delve into topics such as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, perinatal loss, and the impact of these experiences on mental well-being.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Women's Grief
Joining us for this episode is, Olga Montgomery, LCSW, a radically compassionate women’s grief therapist and owner of Voyager Counseling. She shares with us how participating in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can support women in learning a new skillset for navigating life with grief. In this episode, we spend time acknowledging that not all grief involves physical loss, that the effects of grief are often unexpected or unnamed, and that we grieve because we love. Olga talks passionately about holding grief, love, hope, and loss all at once. She kindly shares her own experience of grief with us in tandem with what led her to open her practice.
