Whether it’s creating consistent routines for your child, navigating complex emotions, or maintaining effective communication with your co-parent, Matrescence Therapy is here to help. We offer compassionate counseling to support you on this journey, empowering you to rediscover your strength, confidence, and harmony as co-parents.

What is Matrescence?
Matrescence is the physical, psychological, and emotional change that occurs during the process of becoming a mother. However, here at Matrescence we consider it to be ALL parenthood, not just motherhood. It is considered a developmental phase, much like adolescence, that can involve a variety of things such as hormonal shifts, body changes, identity reconstruction, and relationship transitions. The four components that contribute to the challenges of matrescence are:
- Changing Family Dynamics: adding a child or children to a relationship undoubtedly causes strain and stress
- Ambivalence: the push and pull of wanting a baby close, but also an intense desire for space
- Fantasy vs. Reality: anticipating parenthood will go one way, and then discovering it may look different
- Guilt and Shame: fear that one may never live up to the “perfect” parent.
If you and/or your partner feel these challenges, contact us to learn more about
how we can help.
