Therapy for Parenting and Postpartum

You’re caring for so much - you deserve care too.

Parenting can be both beautiful and incredibly demanding. From the moment life changes with a new child- through birth, adoption, or the shift into a new phase of parenting - you’re carrying more than most people see.

Whether you’re a mom adjusting to life postpartum, navigating identity shifts, or managing the constant pressure to “do it all”, therapy offers you a space to slow down, breathe, and feel supported.

When Parenting Feels Overwhelming

The emotional toll of parenting is real, and it’s okay if you’re not feeling okay. Therapy can help if you’re experiencing:

  • Postpartum anxiety or depression

  • Burnout of overwhelm from caregiving responsibilities

  • Guilt, irritability, or feelings of rage that are hard to talk about

  • Difficulty staying calm, patient, or emotionally regulated

  • Shifting identity or feeling disconnected from who you were before becoming a parent

  • Trouble navigating how to support a child with ADHD, anxiety, or behavioral challenges

These experiences are more common than you think - and they are absolutely valid.

How Therapy Can Help

Parenting often involves putting everyone else’s needs first. In therapy, you get space to explore your needs, emotions, and experiences without judgement. We’ll work together to understand the internal pressures you’re carrying and help you reconnect with your sense of self.

What to Expect from Therapy

As we work together, you may begin to experience:

  • More patience and emotional resilience

  • Less guilt and more self-compassion

  • Better boundaries and a clearer sense of identity

  • Support in processing birth experiences or relationship shifts

  • A deeper capacity to show up for yourself - and your family
