Therapy for moms experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum and life transitions | New Jersey, New York & Telehealth
Pregnancy and early parenthood are full of joy, but they can also bring unexpected anxiety, overwhelm, and pressure to “do it all perfectly.” Many moms feel stretched thin, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves — even while appearing capable and put together on the outside.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and practical tools. Together, we focus on understanding your thoughts and emotions, reducing stress, and building strategies to feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.
My Approach to Therapy
Hi I’m Dr. Vanessa Vitiello, and I bring a combination of credentials and experience that few perinatal therapists can offer. I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD) and completed my postdoctoral fellowship at The Motherhood Center of New York, one of the leading perinatal mental health treatment centers in the country. I'm also a certified yoga teacher (RYT-200), which means I integrate breathwork and body-based practices into clinical work grounded in both science and lived experience.
I'm licensed in New Jersey and New York. As a PSYPACT provider, I see clients across 39+ states via secure telehealth — including moms in communities throughout New Jersey.
