Therapy for Postpartum Anxiety in Fairfield, CT
Navigating 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. Alongside moments of joy and connection, many women experience postpartum anxiety, including constant worry, exhaustion, and self-doubt. If this resonates, you are not alone and support is available.
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?
Postpartum anxiety can show up in many ways, especially during the early months of motherhood.
Does this sound like you…
For many women, especially mothers, putting others first becomes automatic. Over time, this can leave you feeling burned out, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unseen. Maternal mental health challenges are common and treatable. 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 to care for your maternal mental health and navigate challenges such as postpartum anxiety. 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 and and your emotional well-being during the postpartum period. Time to gently shift your focus and begin prioritizing your own needs, wants, values, goals, and emotional well-being.
