About Me
Welcome to Begin Again Counseling. My name is Wilmaris, and I am honored to serve as a perinatal psychotherapist specializing in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, grief, and bereavement following pregnancy loss, all viewed through a trauma-informed lens.
In 2019, I endured the heart-wrenching experience of two consecutive second-trimester losses, each for entirely different reasons, which profoundly altered the trajectory of my life.
The loss of my daughter and son shook my world to its core, reshaping my purpose and igniting a deep-seated desire to become a beacon of support and understanding for families facing similar challenges.
I understand firsthand that the journey of pregnancy loss fundamentally transforms you and your loved ones in ways that are often unexpected and overwhelming. My personal experiences have fueled my commitment to providing a compassionate and culturally sensitive space for families, particularly those of color, who may encounter barriers in accessing the support and care they deserve.
Begin Again Counseling emerged as a tribute to my beloved children, Angelis and Angel Larbi, and to honor the memory of all the precious babies who left this world far too soon. It is a sanctuary where we walk alongside you and your family during these dark and tumultuous times, validating your experiences and cherishing the memory of your child or children who have transitioned beyond.
I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to accompany you on this journey of healing and renewal. Please know that you are not alone; together, we will navigate this path with empathy, grace, and unwavering support.
