At Little Love Counseling, we believe that healing, growth, and well-being are most impactful when supported by a community. That’s why we’re excited to share our long-term collaborative relationship with Gentle Beginnings Birth Center in Hurst, Texas—a partnership built on the shared values of compassion, empowerment, and holistic care for individuals and families during some of life’s most important transitions. Whether you’re navigating the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, preparing for birth, or adjusting to life with a newborn, the journey can be both beautiful and overwhelming. This is where the combined expertise of Little Love Counseling and Gentle Beginnings shines. Together, we provide a comprehensive support system that helps families thrive from the early stages of pregnancy through the challenges of early parenthood. A Shared Philosophy of Holistic, Compassionate Care Gentle Beginnings Birth Center is not just a place where babies are born; it’s a sanctuary where families receive the care, support, and education they need to begin their parenting journey with confidence and peace of mind. The center is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and personalized birth experience, providing prenatal care, midwifery services, and postpartum support for families who choose a natural, holistic approach to childbirth. Little Love Counseling shares this philosophy by offering a nurturing environment where clients can heal, grow, and develop the emotional resilience needed to navigate the complexities of life. Our counseling services focus on supporting mental health and emotional well-being, ensuring that individuals, couples, and families have the tools and resources they need to face life’s challenges. The synergy between our two practices lies in our commitment to holistic, personalized care. By collaborating, we’re able to provide a continuum of support that integrates both the physical and emotional aspects of parenthood. Supporting Families Through Pregnancy and Beyond The journey to parenthood is filled with joy, anticipation, and sometimes uncertainty. For expectant parents, the experience of pregnancy can be exciting, but it can also bring about anxiety, fear, and stress. The birth of a child, whether it’s the first or the fifth, is a monumental life event that can bring on a range of emotions. This is where Little Love Counseling and Gentle Beginnings work together to provide comprehensive support during pregnancy and childbirth 

• Prenatal Counseling: While Gentle Beginnings focuses on the physical aspects of pregnancy, Little Love Counseling offers counseling services that help parents manage the emotional and psychological challenges that often accompany this time. Whether it’s addressing anxiety about childbirth, processing past trauma, or learning coping strategies for stress, our counseling services are designed to help parents feel more prepared and emotionally supported. 

• Postpartum Support: After childbirth, the transition to new parenthood can be overwhelming. Postpartum anxiety, depression, and the stresses of adjusting to life with a newborn are common but often overlooked. Through our partnership, families have access to therapy services tailored to their needs, whether it’s individual counseling for postpartum depression or family therapy to help couples navigate the adjustments that come with a new baby. 

• Doula and Midwifery Services: Gentle Beginnings offers midwifery and doula services to support families throughout labor and delivery, empowering them with knowledge, confidence, and advocacy. Meanwhile, Little Love Counseling provides additional support through therapy, focusing on the mental health aspects of childbirth and early parenthood. A Holistic, Integrated Approach to Wellness One of the most powerful aspects of our collaboration with Gentle Beginnings is the integration of emotional, physical, and relational health. Birth and parenthood are not just physical events; they impact the entire family—emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually. By working together, we create an environment where families receive holistic care that supports the mind, body, and soul. 

• Preparing for Parenthood: Both Little Love Counseling and Gentle Beginnings provide education and support to help parents feel prepared for the challenges of childbirth and early parenting. Little Love Counseling offers workshops and counseling sessions that help expectant parents navigate their feelings and expectations, while Gentle Beginnings provides birth education classes, doula services, and prenatal checkups. 

• Ongoing Support: Parenthood is a journey that doesn’t end at birth. Through our collaboration, families have access to continuous support, whether it’s postpartum counseling, parenting education, or relational therapy. 

Little Love Counseling offers couples therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy to help families maintain strong relationships, communicate effectively, and navigate any challenges that arise in their parenting journey.
