Parenthood is a journey of immense love, but it can also be filled with stress, self-doubt, and exhaustion.

From the sleepless nights of infancy to navigating the complexities of adolescence, the demands of parenting are constant. It's easy to lose yourself while trying to meet everyone else's needs. You might be struggling with parental burnout, feeling the weight of anxiety, or navigating the identity shift that comes with becoming a parent.

Whether you are a new parent needing postpartum support, a couple struggling to align on parenting styles, or an individual feeling overwhelmed by it all, you are not alone. Therapy provides a dedicated space to care for yourself, so you can be the calm, confident, and connected parent you want to be.

Our therapists utilize a range of compassionate, evidence-based techniques. Learn more about our therapeutic modalities to find an approach that feels right for you.

Questions Parents Often Ask

Yes, it is incredibly common to feel this way. The pressure to be a 'perfect' parent is immense and unrealistic. Therapy provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these feelings of guilt and self-doubt, helping you embrace 'good enough' parenting and find more joy in the journey.

The 'baby blues' are common, mild, and short-lived mood swings after childbirth. Postpartum depression (PPD) is more severe and persistent, involving intense feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that can interfere with daily life. If you suspect you have PPD, our therapists specializing in postpartum support can provide the help you need.

Therapy can help you understand the triggers that lead to impatience and frustration. By addressing your own stress and burnout, and by learning new coping strategies and communication skills, you can increase your capacity for patience and respond to your children's needs more calmly.

Yes. Disagreements on parenting styles are a common source of conflict. We offer support for co-parenting and relationship challenges, helping you and your partner improve communication, find common ground, and develop a united approach that works best for your family.
