For new mothers we have counselors who specialize in early motherhood counseling, also known as perinatal therapy. Early motherhood counseling is a specialized form of counseling that supports individuals during and after pregnancy. It addresses unique emotional and psychological challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and adjustment difficulties, providing a space to navigate the significant changes and pressures of early motherhood.
What can early motherhood counseling can help with?
Emotional and mental health: Therapy can address symptoms like persistent sadness, irritability, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, or intrusive thoughts about the baby.
Adjustment to new roles: It can help with the emotional and psychological shifts that come with becoming a parent, including the pressure to be "perfect".
Relationship challenges: Counseling can provide support for new parents to navigate relationship issues that may arise due to the new demands of a child.
Bonding with the baby: It offers guidance and strategies to help mothers understand and nurture the bond with their newborn.
Self-care: Therapy can help mothers find ways to balance their own needs with those of their child, which can be a significant challenge.
When should I seek support?
It is normal to feel tired and emotional after childbirth, but professional counseling can be beneficial if symptoms linger or intensify.
Signs that you may need support include persistent exhaustion, mood swings, tearfulness, guilt, difficulty bonding, or changes in sleep and appetite.
You don't need to wait for a crisis to seek help; support is available now.
