Pregnancy doesn’t always feel the way you expect it to. For some, it brings excitement. For others, it brings fear, overwhelm, and uncertainty, especially when the path forward feels hazy.

At 38, Kristy was navigating a twin pregnancy after years of living with endometriosis. The emotional weight felt like too much to carry alone.

Her husband found the Seleni Institute and made an appointment for her. At first, she was hesitant. But stepping into Seleni’s warm, supportive space made it easier to open up.

Working with a Seleni therapist gave Kristy the space to process her feelings without judgment or pressure—and move forward in a way that felt right for her.

“My therapist simply let me talk. She made me feel safe and reassured me that anything I said or felt was okay and normal. I said all the scary things that had been running through my mind, and she wasn’t shocked or offended—she was understanding.”

If you’re navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or loss, you don’t have to do it alone.

Meet Patricia Harteneck, Senior Licensed Psychologist at the Seleni Institute.

Have you ever noticed your mind repeating the same negative thought patterns?

Patricia works with individuals navigating chronic stress, depression, anxiety, infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum changes, and perimenopause. In therapy, she helps people explore not only their emotions and behaviors, but also the mental habits that shape how we experience our lives.

Our thought patterns can become automatic — and sometimes even addictive. Becoming aware of those patterns is often the first step toward meaningful change.

Pregnancy after loss can change how someone experiences pregnancy. It isn’t a “fresh start”—it’s a continuation of a story that includes grief.

During Pregnancy After Loss Awareness Month, we recognize the emotional complexity many parents navigate, holding hope for new life while remembering the baby they lost.

If you or someone you love is pregnant after loss, know that you are not alone. 🫶🏼

Eight months after giving birth to her third child, Danielle M., LCSW, PMH-C, experienced life-threatening medical complications following a routine procedure that resulted in an emergency hysterectomy. Her journey to motherhood had already included infertility and loss. And then, without warning, her childbearing years were devastatingly and traumatically cut short.

Years later, while enrolling in Seleni’s Perinatal Loss & Grief training (https://seleni.mykajabi.com/perinatal-loss-and-grief), Danielle realized she had never fully processed the grief and trauma of her own experience.

"It was then and there that I decided to seek my own therapy at the Seleni Institute. My life has forever changed."

Today, she shares how healing reshaped both her life and her work supporting women throughout their reproductive journeys. 💙

💙 Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.
💙 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder.
💙 Nearly 75% of those who need maternal mental health care never receive it.

These numbers represent real lives: clinicians showing up, professionals challenging norms, moms demanding support, leaders pushing for change.

We see you.
We support you.
We’re building alongside you.

To the clinicians, advocates, students, mothers, daughters, caregivers, and leaders shaping the future of women’s health: Happy International Women’s Day.

When clinicians deepen their training, families feel the difference.

Take it from Haley: a Seleni student, birth doula, and Certified Lactation Counselor who is providing compassionate, evidence-based support to families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

We’re proud to train providers who are expanding their capacity to care for individuals navigating infertility, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, grief, and major life transitions.
