Is your transition into motherhood more difficult than you expected?

Do you wish you had more support?

Are you worried about symptoms of perinatal depression or anxiety (PMADS)?

The adjustments around becoming a mom for the first (or fourth!) time are often shadowed by the excitement of the process and the attention on the new baby. But becoming a mom changes relationships, friendships, career. Life. Therapy can help you connect with yourself, your partner and your child; while also providing a space to be honest about the challenges and changes. So whether you’re thinking about becoming a mom, a mom for the first time or have older children, therapy can help you find support and guidance.

• Feeling overwhelmed by the changes in sleep and schedule that come with motherhood.
• Feelings of guilt due to high self-expectations
• Disconnect from partner, family and friends.
