Therapy for New Moms in Fairfield, CT
Navigating postpartum anxiety and the many changes that come with the journey into motherhood
Adjusting to life as a new mom is no small feat. Becoming a mom can be one of the most beautiful and most overwhelming transitions of your life. Along with the joy, you might also feel worry, exhaustion, or moments of doubt that leave you questioning yourself. If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone.
Does this sound like you…
Are you a new mom looking for support with your mental health?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the changes you are going through?
Do you feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster?
Are you trying to juggle unsolicited advice from others and potentially your own feelings of inadequacy?
Are you struggling with constant worrying that something bad could happen to your baby?
Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts that make you feel uncomfortable and make you doubt your capabilities as a mom?
Do you feel your brain is overloaded by the laundry list (no pun intended!) of things you think you need to accomplish?
Are you having difficulty adjusting to a new schedule or routine?
For many women, especially mothers, putting others first becomes automatic. Over time, this can leave you feeling burned out, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unseen. You may appear fine on the outside, while inside you’re unsure how to find space for your own needs. Therapy offers a compassionate space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive, and affirming space. A place where you can pause, take a breath, and gently ground yourself amidst the demands of everyday life. Therapy for new moms struggling with postpartum anxiety is more than just talking; it’s time you’ve intentionally carved out to care for yourself. Time to gently shift your focus and begin prioritizing your own needs, wants, values, goals, and emotional well-being.
Why This Support Matters
In Our Work Together
In our sessions, for expecting moms struggling with anxiety, we will focus on supporting your emotional well-being and helping you feel more grounded in your everyday life.
-
We will explore the way you think, perceive, and speak to yourself, as well as the expectations you carry. Together, we will challenge self-criticism and unrealistic standards so you can see your efforts, strengths, and resilience through a more compassionate lens.
-
You’ll learn practical coping skills to ease anxiety, feel more grounded, and navigate overwhelming moments with greater confidence.
-
We will work on establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries, especially in relationships where you may feel overstretched or invalidated. Learning how to advocate for your own needs can increase your confidence in your choices, particularly in your role as a mother.
-
You’ll learn ways to embrace nurturing yourself as an essential part of your emotional health. As you begin to prioritize yourself, you may notice improvements in your relationships, your energy, patience, and your ability to be present.
-
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or disorganized, we will work together to break things down into smaller more manageable steps. We will collaboratively create realistic routines that fit your life and help you feel more in control and less burdened.
