Perinatal Mental Health & Parenting Therapy in Littleton,CO
Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood are hard. Even with months of planning, it can still feel overwhelming. Many parents experience anxiety, emotional exhaustion, identity shifts, intrusive thoughts, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Both moms and dads can struggle and feel very alone. This is not their fault. Our society is not set up to fully support parents, and many parents struggle to feel secure and supported during this time.
Becoming a parent is a big change, and it is not one that simply settles. As many parents know, once you feel like you have things figured out, your child changes, and you find yourself starting all over again. Even if you have been a parent for years, there may be times when you find yourself struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to figure out how to handle new challenges as they come up. I’m here to help you through this process. For many, part of this is figuring out who they are in the middle of all this change, finding their voice to ask for help, and setting boundaries.
