Erin Berzins (she/her)

I am certified with Postpartum Support International as a perinatal mental health counselor (PSI12789). I teach in the perinatal mental health certificate program at Antioch University and have presented and trained professionals on this topic locally and nationally. This specialization is important because perinatal mood and anxiety disorders present differently and are frequently missed or minimized.

I specialize in treating the complex and often disenfranchised grief that is pregnancy loss and infertility. I am trained in grief modalities which recognize the lifelong process of integrating grief, and the love it represents, into your life.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing both primary and secondary infertility, including those going through IVF. I am trained to address the grief, relationship strain, and trauma responses which frequently emerge from these experiences. I also bring the personal experience of having been an IVF patient.

Pregnancy loss and infertility grief is often a disenfranchised grief, without sufficient cultural ritual or holding. I focus on creating a space where your sadness, love, anger, and pain can live without judgment and without being rushed. We hold our losses for life, but we also transform this part of ourselves to honor those losses.

I specialize in the complex and often invisible experience of infertility, both primary and secondary. My training includes addressing the experiences of grief, trauma, and relationship strain which frequently emerge during the infertility process. I also bring the lived experience of having been an IVF patient.
