Counseling for New Mothers
For new moms, it’s normal to feel unsettled or anxious about motherhood, especially when those feelings don’t seem to match what they expected. Some women find that simple things like a morning run, healthy eating, and support from loved ones help them adjust. For others, speaking with a therapist who focuses on postpartum issues can bring comfort, relief, and clarity. Therapists educated in understanding these challenges, recognize that factors such as hormonal changes, personal history, and the strength of one’s support system all play a key role in easing symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
- Feeling overwhelmed and questioning if motherhood was the right choice for you
- Struggling with guilt due to setting high expectations for yourself
- Not feeling a connection with your baby, despite your efforts
- Your mind is constantly racing, and you can't seem to calm it down
- Experiencing a sense of emptiness and going through the motions without truly feeling
- Having difficulty focusing or staying present in the moment
- Worrying that reaching out for help will lead to judgment or criticism
- Thoughts of wanting to escape or leave the situation behind
- Constantly feeling anxious and on edge, like you're always worrying
