Holding Space for You Through the Full Arc of Childbearing Years
Becoming a parent is a profound transformation—emotionally, physically, and relationally. What seems ordinary to so many people can be one of the most multifaceted, complex, and existential experiences of our lifetime. Whether you’re navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenting, you deserve the space and support that honors each aspect of your journey.
I’m an experienced perinatal mental health provider in New York, offering therapy that is empowering, grounded, client-centered, and deeply attuned to the existential dimensions of parenthood.
Meet Erin Knittel, LMHC, PMH-C
I hold space for the joy and grief, the love and ambivalence, the identity shifts and silent questions that often go unspoken.
Why don’t I feel the enjoyment or excitement that I’m supposed to?
I’ve perfectly planned everything else in my life, so why isn’t this working out accordingly?
Why do I have scary or intrusive thoughts about my baby or my partner?
Why does this seem so easy for everyone else but me?
How do I know I’m making the right choices?
You don’t have to figure this out alone. This is a place for reflection, healing, and growth— where your story, your values, and your inner knowing are respected and held with care.
