New Parent Counseling

Being a new parent is one of the most intense and emotional events of our lives. It can also be a stressful time and can affect how you feel about yourself and your relationships. As a parent, I have experienced these emotions. As a therapist, I have worked with many new parents who need help adjusting their new role(s). Together, we can work to foster self-compassion, open communication and access new perspectives. We’ll look at the entire picture to discover how you can find the right balance as a new parent.

Supportive new parent counseling can include:

  • postpartum anxiety/depression treatment
  • new parent coaching
  • parent couple counseling
  • work/life decision coaching
  • techniques to find balance and reduce stress
  • connecting parents to community resources

Are you feeling overwhelmed now that your baby is here?

Whatever your road to parenthood, the adjustment can feel like a shock to the system. Sometimes, feelings of anxiety and depression may surface. Much of these changes in mood can be attributed to hormonal changes and/or sleep deprivation. In some cases, these stressful feelings can lessen over time. But in other instances they can be hard to work through on your own. Even if you have a caring partner and family it may be hard to get the assistance you need.

Any new parent can feel stressed after their baby arrives. Lack of sleep along with feeling a loss of predictable schedules can be hard. Postpartum anxiety and depression can affect all parents no matter a person’s gender or sexual orientation. Adoptive parents can also experience symptoms. The most common treatment for PPD is supportive counseling and (sometimes) medication.

I value and affirm neurodiversity, gender, sexual, class, body neutrality, disability, race, ethno-religion, religion and spiritual identity.
