Support for Moms

Does every day feel like your first day on the job?

That’s how being a mom can feel! After all, there’s no parenting manual, is there? And just as soon as you figure one thing out, your child enters a new stage of life, and there you are again… hands in the air wondering what to do.

You find yourself in a never-ending battle to figure out how to put food on the table, to keep a roof over their heads, or find someone to watch your kids. There are so many needs when it comes to being a mom, and none of them are making sure that you are okay or checking in with you.

Have a mother-in-law you don’t know what to do with? Don’t know how to talk to your husband about it either? Feeling alone and isolated even though you are around children all day?

You just want some time to think or feel like you are not running everything all the time. When you come to therapy, it’s time to breathe and time for me to take care of you. There is no shame or guilt coming to therapy.

Let me fill your cup and give you a chance to breathe so that you can go back home and be the mother that you want to be.

I can’t keep this up. It’s too much.

Have you been picking up another glass of wine? Or eating more of those favorite sweets or savory chips?

You and every other mother have chosen that coping skill over the last few months. It is instant gratification. With all the stress you have to deal with day in and day out, instant gratification may seem like the answer.

There are 168 hours in a week. I am asking you to invest 1 hour in therapy. That one hour can dramatically affect the other 167 for the better.

“I am not good enough.” “They are judging me; they do it so much better than I can.” “I cannot do this anymore.” “I don’t know much longer I can go like this.”

I hear these statements all the time in session from mothers who feel defeated, broken, and full of shame. I see you and take you just as you are, and I am here to tell you that you have worth, you are going to be okay, and I can make it so you can thrive.

Let’s talk about postpartum depression…

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that one in eight women suffer from depression before, during, or after pregnancy, so you are not alone.

What does suffering from postpartum depression (PPD) mean? Here are a few really common ways women have experienced PPD. If you are experiencing some of them, it is really important to come check-in.

It’s common to have a dip in mood during your baby’s first two weeks. After that, you should feel better.

If you are feeling upset occasionally, that is normal. If you frequently have crying spells or you often feel unhappy about being a parent, you may be a mom who needs more attention. You are often “down on yourself.” You just don’t care. If you can’t decide whether to get out of bed, take a shower, change your baby’s diaper, or take them for a walk, you need some attention.

You’ve had big, stressful changes in your life. Maybe you’ve been fighting with your partner, or your family isn’t helping you care for your baby. Perhaps someone you loved died a short time ago. Stressful events like these can worsen your sadness and trigger postpartum depression – this needs attention.

There’s nothing wrong with seeking support.

This is a safe place. You are not alone or weak for wanting to get help or learn some helpful coping skills.

You have tried everything. Instead of staying stuck or alone, let me show you how to talk to your kids, so you don’t always feel like you’re yelling at them.

Come in and learn how to be present, so you are not always on TikTok or Instagram scroll on your phone to escape.

Stop resenting your partner, expecting him to know when he repeatedly gets it wrong. I can show you how to explain what you need without feeling hurt or dismissed.

Let’s conquer these challenges… together.

All it takes to make the changes you want to make is a quick 15-minute phone call. I can take it from there and make sure you are taken care of, and I can help.

What you’re going through is common, and you don’t have to go through it alone!
