Sound familiar?

  • “I wasn’t prepared for the feelings I’m having.”

  • “This is so much harder than I thought it’d be.”

  • “Everyone’s expectations are overwhelming.”

  • “I’m supposed to be happy. So why do I feel so scared?”

The journey to and through parenthood doesn’t always look the way we thought it would. It’s easy to feel lonely when no one in your life really knows what you’re going through.

Even if you explained it to them, you know they wouldn’t understand how much these feelings are affecting you. Plus, you don’t want anyone to think less of you—you’re already carrying so much guilt as it is. You feel more distant from your partner than ever, and the utter exhaustion you’re living with only makes it worse.

Life feels completely different than you thought it would at this point, and you feel like you don’t have control over anything. Things have changed so quickly and so significantly already that thinking about the future brings nothing but fear and worry.

We’re here to help you with:

  • Family planning

  • Anxiety

  • Grief & loss

  • Infertility

  • Birth planning

  • Expectations for parenthood

  • Familial conflict

  • Societal pressures

  • Insomnia

  • Romantic intimacy

  • Postpartum depression

  • Shifts in career or friendships

 

We strive to help you feel heard, understood, and supported through every stage of your parenthood journey.
