Counseling for New Mothers

For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that doesn't seem "right".

For some women, a morning run, a balanced diet, and receiving support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, the further addition of talking to a therapist who specializes in working with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving, and enlightening.

Our team understands that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
