If you're struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, or postpartum emotions, this is your space for healing and understanding.
Specialized therapy for infertility, perinatal trauma & postpartum mental health
Hi, I'm Medha, the Brown Therapist Mama
I'm Medha S Kudaisya, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) based in Hoboken, New Jersey. I'm an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant specializing in perinatal trauma, birth trauma, infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum mental health.
​
My work centers on the experiences that can profoundly shape how we see ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and our transition into parenthood—including infertility, pregnancy loss, TFMR, birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, postpartum rage, and the many forms of grief that can accompany the perinatal journey.
​
EMDR is a central part of my clinical practice. I have pursued advanced training in perinatal trauma and loss, infertility, dissociation, ego states, polyvagal theory, and other trauma-focused approaches. I also draw from IFS, psychodynamic, humanistic, and other therapeutic frameworks to make sure treatment is responsive to the whole person—not just the trauma they are trying to heal.
​
I’m particularly passionate about helping people whose experiences have been misunderstood, minimized, or left out of traditional conversations about motherhood. As an immigrant, a mom, and a survivor of postpartum depression and rage, I understand that the path to parenthood can be complicated, messy, and profoundly different from what we imagined. My own experiences inform my empathy, but my clinical training and ongoing education guide my work.
I also provide EMDR consultation to therapists who want to deepen their clinical skills and confidence, particularly when working with complex trauma, perinatal populations, and loss. As an EMDR consultant, I’m committed to helping other clinicians develop a thoughtful, nuanced understanding of EMDR beyond simply following a protocol.
Ultimately, I believe therapy should feel both compassionate and purposeful. You deserve a space where the full complexity of your experience can be understood—and where we can work together toward meaningful change, not simply learning to live with what happened to you.
Pricing & Fees
Fees & Payment Options
​
I work on an out-of-network and self-pay basis. Many insurance plans include out-of-network mental health benefits that may reimburse a portion of your therapy costs.
​
I’m happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. I can also help you understand what questions to ask your insurance company when verifying your out-of-network benefits.
​
You may also be able to use HSA/FSA funds toward the cost of therapy. Please note that out-of-network coverage and reimbursement vary by plan and are not guaranteed.
​
Fees & Investment in Therapy
​
My standard 50 minute therapy session is $200. 3-hour EMDR intensives are priced at $600.
Therapy is an investment in your emotional well-being, healing, and the life you are working toward. My practice focuses on specialized trauma treatment, including EMDR therapy for perinatal trauma, birth trauma, infertility, and reproductive loss.
​
As a Perinatal Mental Health & EMDR Certified Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I bring advanced training, specialized clinical experience, and ongoing professional consultation to my work. My fees reflect the depth of this specialization and the individualized care I provide.
​
I understand that therapy is also a financial commitment, and I believe in being transparent about costs from the outset. If cost is a deterrent, I am happy to offer a sliding scale.
​
Please note I have limited sliding scale spots and availability is not guaranteed.
