Notes from
Stone Harbor
Therapy insights for women navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, fertility, motherhood & life transitions.
Hello and welcome to the Stone Harbor Therapy Blog. My name is Mary Claire Kerwin, founder of Stone Harbor and the author behind these pages. I’m so glad you’re here!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a therapist, not a writer - but I do enjoy writing! These posts are a place for me to share thoughts, reflections, and a little of what I’ve learned along the way about being human and being a woman. They are also thoughts on relationships, loss, anxiety, change and all the complicated seasons that life can bring.
My hope is that somewhere in these pages, you find something that makes you feel understood, gives you something to think about, or simply reminds you that you are not alone. So grab a cup a cup of your favorite beverage and join me.
A Season of Change
Change can bring uncertainty, loss, growth, and new beginnings. A reflection on navigating life’s transitions, making room for mixed emotions, and finding hope in the seasons ahead.
When We Remember
Some memories fade with time. Others stay with us, quietly shaping how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Remembering can bring comfort, sadness, or sometimes both.
Finding Your Way Through Postpartum
The postpartum period can hold so much at once—love, exhaustion, uncertainty, joy, and emotions you may not have expected. Becoming a mother is a profound transition, and adjusting to this new season can take time.
What Does Therapy Actually Look Like?
If you’ve never been to therapy, it’s natural to wonder what actually happens once you sit down and start talking. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s a place to begin understanding yourself, your experiences, and what you want to change.
