Ten questions every couple should ask before getting married from a couples therapist who sees what happens when they don’t. Serving NYC, Hoboken NJ & Montclair NJ.

At some point in your 20s or 30s you look up and realize something quietly uncomfortable. Your social world has shrunk. Not dramatically — no falling out, no big moment. Just a slow, gradual contraction. The college friends are in different cities. The work friends stayed at the last job. The people you used to see constantly are now people you text occasionally and mean to make plans with and somehow never do. And making new friends actually building something from scratch as a full adult with a full life turns out to be one of the hardest things nobody prepared you for. If you've been carrying this quietly, thinking something is wrong with you it's not. This is one of the most common things I hear in my therapy practice. And it deserves an honest conversation.

I started seeing it spike during COVID and never really saw it come back down. Health anxiety was already something I treated regularly in my practice but the pandemic did something to it. It took a pattern that was already there and gave it a legitimate reason to exist. Of course you were monitoring your symptoms. Of course you were Googling. The nervous system had learned a new way of operating. And what started as a reasonable response to a real situation became something running on its own scanning, checking, bracing long after it needed to. That's health anxiety. And the way most people try to manage it on their own tends to make it worse, not better.

Postpartum anxiety affects at least as many women as postpartum depression and receives a fraction of the attention. Prenatal anxiety is even less talked about.

And perinatal OCD intrusive thoughts about the baby that cause intense distress precisely because they are so contrary to how a mother actually feels, is one of the most underdiagnosed, underreported, and most treatable things I work with.

If you are trying to conceive and the anxiety is making it harder. If you are pregnant and not able to feel present in it because the fear is too loud. If you are postpartum and the thoughts won't quiet you deserve support that actually understands what you're dealing with.
