LITTLE A'S HEALING
Little A’s Healing was founded in 2022 by April Fitzharris, LCSW, because of her passion for supporting women during their most challenging times.
Little A's Healing focuses on women, and women’s health and believe that therapy should be a place where you feel seen, understood and supported. Having a baby is a rewarding and joyful experience but it can also be very scary, lonely and emotionally draining. If you are trying to conceive, pregnant, just had your third baby or suffered a loss, you might need support from a therapist who believes in the unique needs of moms.
April has over fifteen years experience in the mental health profession with a focus on supporting women with perinatal and postpartum depression. April has a Masters in Psychology, a Masters in Social Work and her Perinatal Mental Health Certificate. April provides in-person sessions in Naperville, IL, as well as telehealth sessions, to guide clients in the development of skills and strategies for dealing with their struggles.
INFERTILITY & MISCARRIAGE
You are not alone. One in seven women are unable to get pregnant after a year of trying and one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage. The emotions are complicated whether you're trying to conceive, considering IVF, adoption, or the possibility of third party reproduction. As you face these difficulties, we will be there to support you and provide you the tools and resources you need to feel more grounded.
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
It's more than the "baby blues" and more common than you think. Between 15-20% of mothers experience postpartum depression. . The intrusive thoughts, guilt and loneliness can leave new parents wondering if they’re doing anything right and these feelings can make it hard for you to take care of yourself and your baby. Find the support you need to build on the next chapter in your life.
HOW DOES THERAPY WORK?
Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Our goal is to help you sort through these new, unexpected, and overwhelming feelings and create actionable takeaways to use and apply. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reduce anxiety and depression and work with you to better understand your struggles and find a new way forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
