Expecting & New Mothers Counseling
Pregnancy and early motherhood bring a rollercoaster of emotions—excitement, uncertainty, and everything in between. Whether you’re preparing for your baby’s arrival or adjusting to life with a newborn, I provide therapy counseling in Wisconsin and Minnesota to support you through this transition. Counseling offers a judgment-free space where you can process your feelings, navigate challenges, and find balance in this new season of life.
Common Challenges New Mothers Face
Many women experience emotional struggles during pregnancy and postpartum. It can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings that don’t seem “right.” You’re not alone, and these feelings don’t define your ability to be a good mother.
- Feeling overwhelmed and questioning if you should have become a mother
- Guilt from high self-expectations or feeling like you’re “not enough”
- Struggling to bond with your baby
- Racing thoughts and difficulty quieting your mind
- Feeling empty, numb, or disconnected from daily life
- Lack of focus and concentration
- Fear of judgment if you ask for help
- Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby
- Constant worry and feelings of anxiety
