Parenting Support

Welcoming a baby into your family can bring up a lot of complicated emotions.  Happiness, love, anxiety, overwhelm and exhaustion are all common feelings experienced by new parents.   If feelings of sadness and anxiety are persistent and lasting more than a few weeks it might be helpful to seek additional support.  Adjusting to your new life with baby can be challenging and the transition can feel more stable with professional guidance.    We can also help navigate co parenting challenges for those still coupled or those who are separated but want to work toward a consistent, established connection between households. 

Some ways that we can help: 

• Adjustment to baby / balancing life schedules

• Re connecting to partner / maintaining connection

•  Reducing feelings of sadness, overwhelm and anxiety 

• Assessing/ treatment for postpartum anxiety and depression 

• Managing expectations 

• “Mom guilt”/ returning to work

• Managing family roles

• Co parenting 

• Exploring family of origin issues

• Managing household stress 

• Attachment and bonding
   

We welcome new parents to bring their infants with them to session as we know it can be difficult to leave them in the early months.
