• Counseling for New Mothers

    It can be upsetting and frightening for new moms to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.”


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


    Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are vital in understanding and alleviating post-partum symptoms.


    Common post-partum symptoms include:

    • Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
    • Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
    • Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
    • Your thoughts are racing, and you can’t quiet your mind
    • Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
    • Lack of focus and concentration
    • Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
    • Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
    • Being constantly in a state of worry
