Counseling for New Mothers and Fathers

It can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about parenthood that don’t seem “right.”

Common postpartum 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
• Feeling like you can never give enough

If one or more of the above symptoms resonates with you, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation. Together, we’ll find the underlying issues that make you feel disconnected from your baby and create a strategy for moving forward.
