Postpartum Counseling 

You’re in the postpartum phase of this motherhood journey…and nothing is as you were led to expect. There are days you feel overwhelmed. Some days you feel anxious. Days certainly where everything feels like it is out of your control. The guilt mounts, as does the fear. And you can’t shake it.

You feel like you can’t delight in this beautiful, amazing new bundle. In fact, feelings of motherly joy are nowhere to be found. And attachment and bonding? A thing you only dream about experiencing with your baby.

There are days you feel like you’re on the edge; defensive and headed for conflict.

There are other days you cannot stop crying. The sadness is so deep it aches. 

Sometimes, it’s the intrusive thoughts that get in the way. The ones that make you feel like you have to be hyper-alert so no harm comes to your baby. On the worst days, you wonder nervously if it might be you that could hurt your baby.

You don’t know if it’s the “baby blues” that people talk about or if it’s postpartum depression.

And, you don’t know how to talk about being overwhelmed.

Other people look like they’re doing it so normally. So effortlessly. If you share with them the things going on in your head, they wouldn’t understand. Or even worse, they’ll think you’re crazy.

Now, you’re considering Postpartum Counseling in St. Louis or Online Therapy for Women in Missouri.

Counseling for Postpartum Can Really Help You!

Through therapy, we will find the tools that work best for you so you can manage the negative emotions that come with parenthood — with life! — without crumbling or having to fight so hard to get through them. We will help you understand your emotions and thoughts and learn how to interact with them in a non-threatening way.

Together, we will build a new lens for your thought process, so you can be the person who best supports you. So you can detect faulty thought patterns and substitute them with healthy, more accurate ones.

I will work with you to manage feelings of depression, anxiety, and overwhelm so your confidence in working through those feelings sees a major increase. So you believe you can navigate hard days without crumbling or beating yourself up for being unproductive. I will help you find ways to routinely care for yourself so you don’t feel like you’re losing yourself and your interests.

Most importantly, we will help you grow into your role as a mother in a way that you feel balanced, and like you are the best version of yourself.
