Are You A New Mom Who Worries About Doing Everything Right?
Do you ever feel like you’re not connecting with or being emotionally present for your infant? Are you so stressed out and worried about everything that you don’t even have the energy to bond with your child? Does it seem like no one around you understands what you’re going through?
Maybe you expected a village of help for you and your newborn, but now you feel isolated and discouraged. Perhaps you spend so much time making sure your baby is safe that you have trouble relaxing and enjoying each moment. Or it could be that your exhaustion and anxiety are driving a wedge between you and your partner.
The Signs Of Postpartum Problems Aren’t Always Obvious
You may not feel depressed or anxious, but you find yourself feeling guilt or shame about all the things you think you should be doing. Or maybe every little stressor sets you off and—once you’re upset—you have a hard time controlling your irritability or anger. Many of these signs might not seem like postpartum symptoms at first glance. However, if your guilt or irritability is making it harder for you to adjust to life as a new mom, these feelings can still leave you overwhelmed. If symptoms of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety or postpartum PTSD are getting in your way, therapy can help you cope and connect with your baby.
Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. With compassionate support and effective tools, therapy can help you navigate these challenges and find relief from overwhelming emotions. Together, we’ll work toward restoring your sense of balance, helping you feel connected and supported every step of the way.
Birth Trauma
While you can’t change your birth story, it is possible to change how it impacts you. We can work together to process the experience, reduce its emotional hold, and help you find a sense of peace and empowerment. Healing is achievable, and you don’t have to carry the weight of this trauma alone.
Postpartum Rage
Postpartum rage can be a startling and overwhelming experience for new parents, but it’s possible to navigate these intense emotions in a healthy way. Through therapy, you can learn effective coping strategies to understand and manage your feelings, fostering a sense of calm and emotional balance in your life.
Postpartum Anxiety
The constant worry and tension of postpartum anxiety can feel all-consuming can rob you of experiencing the joy of motherhood. With compassionate postpartum counseling you can regain your peace and inner calm.
You Can Get Back To Feeling Like Yourself Again With Postpartum Therapy
It might seem like the sadness, self-doubt, and loneliness will last forever but, with the right strategies and tools, your life can look and feel different. As a postpartum therapist, I am here to listen to what you’re going through and give you strategies to deal with the emotional challenges of motherhood.
At Mindful Reflections Therapy, we use specialized therapeutic approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, to support mothers navigating the complex challenges of postpartum mental health. These techniques are particularly effective for addressing issues such as birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and postpartum rage, providing a compassionate pathway to healing and emotional well-being.
Together, we will embark on a transformative healing journey aimed at providing you with relief from distress, cultivating self-compassion, and fostering a balanced mental and emotional state. My goal is to empower you as you navigate your postpartum experience with resilience, strength, and support.
Anxiety And Depression Symptoms Affect Postpartum Moms Everywhere
So many new moms struggle silently with their mental health after giving birth. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sad during what’s often expected to be a joyful time, please know—you’re not alone. Research shows that one in seven women experience a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder or just feel “off” during the early months after delivery (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, 2024). For some, these feelings come up right after birth, while for others, it may take weeks or months before they notice something isn’t quite right. This transition into motherhood is powerful but can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and it’s completely okay if it doesn’t feel like what you expected.
Postpartum Therapy Can Help You Enjoy Being a New Mom
Motherhood can bring about some of the most exhilarating emotions—and some of the most challenging. Even if things feel tough right now, postpartum therapy can help you clear the fog of negative thoughts.
