Where Healing is a Homecoming

Culturally responsive perinatal mental health therapy in New York and Connecticut, specializing in reproductive transitions, pregnancy loss, grief, and birth trauma.

What Solmaterna Stands For

Solmaterna exists to offer what many systems cannot: nuanced, trauma-informed, identity-honoring care for people navigating some of life’s most tender transitions.

Here, therapy is not just a service — it’s a space for transformation. A place to be witnessed, held, and reconnected with your whole self.

Why I Do This Work

Perinatal therapist in NYC, Westchester & CT specializing in birth trauma, pregnancy loss, postpartum anxiety, and EMDR therapy for reproductive trauma.

"I am Dr. Solimar Santiago-Warner, LCSW, PMH-C, a specialized therapist dedicated to supporting women and birthing people through the complexities of Perinatal Mental Health and Birth Trauma. With over a decade of experience in the field, I hold a Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), a gold standard that signifies advanced expertise in treating Pregnancy Loss, Infertility, and postpartum mood disorders.

My practice is rooted in the belief that healing requires an intersectional and trauma-informed lens. Whether you are navigating the transition of Matrescence in New York or seeking Virtual EMDR in Connecticut, my goal is to provide a culturally responsive space where your story is honored and your healing is prioritized."

I founded Solmaterna because I saw too many of us — BIPOC women, birthing people, high-achieving caregivers — carrying grief and complexity alone.

As a clinician, educator, and mother, I know how reproductive experiences can stir long-buried trauma, challenge your identity, and change everything.

My goal is to offer care that is both deeply attuned and clinically excellent. I weave together trauma-informed modalities (like EMDR, somatics, parts work) with a commitment to cultural humility and justice.

Whether you’re grieving, healing, expanding, or simply tired — you are welcome here.

Is This the Right Fit?

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support.

My clients are often high-functioning and emotionally intelligent — the ones others lean on. They’re navigating reproductive changes, identity shifts, burnout, or grief that feels too nuanced for typical spaces.

If that sounds like you, know this: You are not too much. You are not alone. You are ready.
