After becoming a parent, it’s common to experience a range of emotions and physical changes. Becoming a new parent isn’t just good or bad moments, it can be a roller coaster of highs and lows that can feel confusing and overwhelming. While this time can be extremely isolating, you are not alone. 1 in 7 women and 1 in 10 men experience Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, OCD, etc. The good news is that perinatal therapy CAN help. Some signs that you may benefit from Postpartum Counseling can include:

• Feelings of sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm
• Difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite
• Mood swings or irritability
• Changes in your relationship with your partner
• Not enjoying things you used to, dreading the day
• Isolation
• Avoidance of doing things with baby

We offer Support for Every Parenting Path.  Whether you are Nurturing Newborns or Healing from Loss, we embrace every parenthood journey. People who may Benefit from Postpartum Counseling may include:

• New or veteran parents who are struggling with the demands of caring
  for a newborn
• Individuals who have experienced a traumatic birth or pregnancy loss
• Parents who are struggling with infertility or adjusting to parenthood after adoption
• Single parents needing to build resilience and confidence in their parenting journey

Therapists you can trust,
because they’ve been there.

Our therapists are trained to work with those struggling with becoming a new parent, and many of our therapists are parents themselves.
We want people to feel comfortable and feel they can talk openly about these issues without being judged. We will work together to determine issues and concerns, and get clear about how therapy can best help you feel better. A big part of therapy is working on emotional regulation, as well as building coping strategies
