Therapy for Postpartum
Helping You Survive the First Year (Without Losing Your Sh*t)
How Can Postpartum Therapy Help You?
Postpartum is a hell of a ride, and it’s not all sunshine and snuggles—especially if you’re dealing with the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. You might be wondering, “Why am I feeling so off when I’m supposed to be overjoyed?” or “How do I juggle being a mom and still keep my sanity?” If you’re struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, or even just feeling totally lost in this new identity, you’re not alone. Add in any past childhood wounds or a rough birth experience, and it can feel like a lot to handle.
In our sessions, you can expect real talk, practical tools to get you through the tough days, and maybe even some laughter, because seriously—this stuff is hard, but we’ll lighten the load. We’ll dig into what’s really going on—whether that’s dealing with the baby blues, navigating trauma, or just finding your footing in a new world where everything has changed. This is your safe space to vent, heal, and find the strength to not only survive but thrive in your new role as a parent. You don’t have to do this alone, so let’s figure it out together and get you feeling like yourself again.

How trauma can affect you as a new mom
Postpartum isn’t just about adjusting to a new baby—it’s about adjusting to everything that comes with it, including any trauma that might resurface. Trauma doesn’t just go away after birth, and sometimes it shows up in ways you might not expect. If you’ve experienced trauma in the past—whether it’s related to childhood, past relationships, or a traumatic birth experience—those wounds can affect your postpartum journey.
Trauma can impact how you feel about your body, how you bond with your baby, and how you manage stress. You might find yourself feeling hyper-vigilant or anxious, especially if you have past experiences with abuse or neglect. A traumatic birth experience, especially if it involved feelings of helplessness, pain, or a lack of control, can also lead to PTSD-like symptoms such as flashbacks or nightmares.
All of this can make the already challenging postpartum period feel even more overwhelming, and you might not even realize that it’s your trauma that’s driving some of these emotions. Therapy can help you identify and work through these issues, allowing you to heal, rebuild your confidence, and regain a sense of control in your new life as a parent.
By addressing trauma in therapy, you can start to heal both your mind and body, develop healthy coping skills, and improve your ability to connect with your baby and your partner. You deserve to heal, and you don’t have to carry the weight of past experiences into your new chapter as a mom.
