Counseling for New Parents

Whether you're expecting, just delivered, or navigating the tender months (or years) after birth, this time can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and incredibly isolating—even when you're surrounded by love, and even more so, if you are navigating challenges.

You might be:

  • Struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or sadness

  • Feeling disconnected from yourself, your baby, or your partner

  • Grieving the birth experience you didn’t expect

  • Overwhelmed by guilt, rage, or exhaustion

  • Battling sleeplessness and physical strain

  • Wondering, “Why isn’t this easier?”

We’re here to remind you: You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re human.

Postpartum and Perinatal Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you notice and shift the self-critical, anxious, or catastrophic thoughts that often accompany postpartum depression and anxiety. You’ll gain tools to interrupt spirals and build more balanced, compassionate thinking.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on helping you move toward the life you want—even while hard feelings are present. Instead of trying to “fix” or suppress discomfort, we work on creating space for it while reconnecting you with your values, identity, and purpose as a parent and a person.

Somatic Therapy
Postpartum experiences live in the body, not just the mind. Somatic therapy helps you regulate your nervous system, release stored stress, and reconnect to your body with safety and compassion—especially after a traumatic birth or overwhelming transition.

Existential Therapy
Parenthood can bring up deep questions: Who am I now? What matters? Why do I feel so alone in this? Existential therapy helps you explore these themes and find meaning, even in the messiness. We honor the complexity of your experience without trying to simplify or bypass it.

Identity & Role Support
The shift into parenthood can feel like a shedding of your old self. Therapy can support you in grieving what’s changed, redefining your identity, and making space for the you who’s emerging. This includes processing relationship changes, role strain, career shifts, and personal transformation.

How We Can Help

You Deserve to Be Supported

In the chaos of new parenthood, therapy offers something rare:
A quiet, grounded place where you get to be seen and heard.

  • You don’t have to hold it all together here

  • You can name the grief, the rage, the love, the fear—all of it

  • You can explore how parenthood is reshaping your world

  • You can reconnect with the version of you who still matters

This isn’t selfish:
It’s survival. It’s healing. It’s self-care in its truest form.

When you care for your own emotional health, you parent from a place of presence and compassion—not just exhaustion and reaction.

Whether you’re feeling lost, anxious, numb, overwhelmed, or simply craving a space that’s yours—therapy can help.

Let this be your reminder:

You deserve support. You deserve to be held, too.

Becoming a parent is one of the most profound transitions in life. It’s filled with love, awe, exhaustion, and uncertainty—sometimes all in the same hour.

You might be:

  • Mourning the loss of your “old self”

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the mental load

  • Struggling with sleep deprivation and identity shifts

  • Navigating new dynamics with your partner

  • Grappling with single parenting

  • Wondering if what you're feeling is "normal"

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Whether you're a first-time parent or adding another child to your family, therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process the emotional, relational, and physical toll of caregiving—without judgment. We help new parents find their footing and reconnect with themselves.

Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a foundation for the kind of parenting you want to offer.

Counseling offers a space just for you.
