Hi, I'm Molly. I'm a maternal mental health therapist and the founder of Poppy Therapy, where I help new moms and moms who want to find meaning and courage in all of the big transitions, emotions, and decisions that come with motherhood. If you had a traumatic birth, are recovering from a NICU stay, have a child with food allergies, or finding yourself facing depression and anxiety, this is probably NOT what you expected. I’m here to help you find confidence, calm, and connection in motherhood so you can BLOOM. I am in-network with Aetna insurance.

Book now through this link: poppy-therapy.com/book-a-consultation - - All moms need and deserve support in motherhood and the transition to motherhood. I specialize in treating anxiety and trauma. I am trained in EMDR for reproductive trauma (like pregnancy loss, birth trauma, NICU stays, and breastfeeding difficulties).

Motherhood in the early years is a season of growth and transformation. At Poppy Therapy, I’m here to help you navigate shifting ground beneath your feet and fully step into a motherhood that fits your values, beliefs, hopes, and dreams. I can help you embrace changes and challenges as a chance to grow and transform. Let’s see you BLOOM in motherhood.

Groups

NICU Mom Support Group

Hosted by

Molly Vasa Bertolucci

This free, virtual group provides support for NICU moms during and after a NICU stay. Having a baby stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a stressful experience full of emotions for new moms. Feelings of sadness, fear, confusion, guilt, and anger are common reactions when your baby is born early or born needing medical care. These feelings make sense and you’re not alone - here, you can connect with and be supported by other moms who know what it’s like.
