PERINATAL THERAPY IN OAKLAND

Pregnancy, Postpartum and Parenting Support

For the moments that crack you open—and the ones that help you come home to yourself.
Serving moms in Oakland.

You love your child. But you’re tired, overwhelmed, and sometimes, you wonder where you went.

Motherhood can bring both deep joy and deep grief—often in the same breath. Whether you’re newly postpartum or years into parenting, it’s normal to feel unprepared for the emotional weight this role can carry. Therapy offers a safe place to explore those feelings, reconnect with your identity, and move through the chaos with more clarity, steadiness, and support.

ROBYN ALAGONA CUTLER, LMFT

“I specialize in Perinatal Mental Health, because I believe that there is nothing more important than providing moms and dads with the support they need to do the hardest, most valuable job there is.”

This is a safe space where you can:

Be honest about what’s hard, without fear of judgment
Name the grief, rage, confusion, or ambivalence you’re carrying
Work through postpartum anxiety, depression, or past trauma
Process birth experiences (whether beautiful, terrifying, or both)
Explore identity shifts, body image, and the invisible load of motherhood
Reclaim time, space, and care for yourself—guilt-free

You don’t have to hit a breaking point to ask for help. Feeling “off,” disconnected, or not like yourself is reason enough.

    • Postpartum anxiety, depression & intrusive thoughts

    • Perfectionism and the pressure to do it all

    • Birth trauma or difficult postpartum experiences

    • Emotional overwhelm, rage, grief, and identity shifts

    • Work/life conflict & mental load

    • Family of origin dynamics resurfacing in motherhood

  • Our work together will be warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care.
    You don’t need to come with a plan. Just come as you are—tired, messy, curious, sad, overwhelmed, or all of the above.

What to Know Beforehand:

* Kind Words from Clients *

“I felt like someone heard me and listened without judging me as a mom.”

It was hard to reach out, I was struggling and I didn't want to be, no mom wants to be. I finally got in touch with Robyn and started working with her and things began to change. I felt like someone heard me and listened without judging me as a mom. After some time working with her, I started to feel more entitled to ask for what I needed and think about myself a little more again. She really helped me.
