WHEN MOTHERHOOD FEELS CLOUDED BY INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS OR UNEXPECTED SADNESS AND GUILT.
Therapy for Pregnancy and Postpartum in Alaska
DOES THIS SOUND RELATABLE?
You are struggling to find joy as a parent and guilt feels close behind.
It’s hard to turn off your mind and rest, let alone get much sleep.
The fear of all the “what ifs” that could happen leave you feeling stuck and worried.
You feel irritable and on edge most of the time and you don’t even know why.
You struggle to imagine a future that feels safe, and the idea of a future pregnancy or birth leaves you feeling numb or terrified.
THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE YOUR NEW NORMAL.
Depression and Anxiety are very real. You are not a bad mom. You deserve support too.
The great news is that depression and anxiety are absolutely treatable. With the right support, it is possible to feel like a real person again and be present with yourself, with your baby, and with others. If you are ready to find relief from the intrusive thoughts keeping you up at night or the isolation that is keeping you from being able to connect with others, therapy can help.
What therapy together looks like…
01 a time and space dedicated for you.
You show up exactly as you are with no expectations of having it all together. We check-in weekly, establish goals of what you hope for yourself and we begin the journey together.
02 practical tools to implement in your daily life.
You leave your sessions with resources and tools that can be immediately applied in your life, helping you to breathe and feel less alone as you navigate your day-to-day.
03 real relief and change.
Over time, your world begins to feel a bit bigger and you notice you have more energy and space to live your life without the constant fear of intrusive thoughts or feelings of hopelessness. There is a new confidence in yourself and your ability to be the mom you want to be.
