Postpartum Therapy
Many women expect the postpartum period to be filled with ease, connection, love, and joy. For many new moms, however, the postpartum period can be filled with a variety of challenging, uncomfortable, and overwhelming emotions, like isolation, scary thoughts, exhaustion, grief, sadness, and anxiety. If this describes how you’re feeling, there is nothing wrong with you and there is support available.
