Postpartum Support Therapy
The perinatal period—which includes pregnancy through the first year postpartum—is a time of immense change. It can bring joy and excitement, but it can also feel overwhelming, uncertain, and lonely. Therapy offers a compassionate space to process the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that often arise during this life transition.
Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or new parenthood, therapy can help you:
-
1
Adjust to a changing identity as you step into (or return to) the role of parent.
-
2
Explore complex emotions, including grief, anxiety, resentment, or guilt.
-
3
Develop tools for emotion regulation during moments of stress, exhaustion, or overstimulation.
-
4
Strengthen your relationships, including with your partner or support system.
-
5
Make space for your needs in a season that often focuses solely on the baby.
For many, this time also stirs up past experiences, old wounds, or unmet expectations. Support during the perinatal period isn’t just about crisis management; it’s about helping you feel grounded, seen, and emotionally resourced as you move through one of life’s most profound transformations.
Therapy provides a place to unpack those layers with warmth, curiosity, and care – so you don’t have to carry them alone.
You’re Not Alone – Let’s Talk
If you’re struggling with the mental and emotional demands of parenthood, support is here.
When preparing for a new baby, we often focus on the external—nurseries, baby gear, and perfect photo ops. But what if the most important preparation happens within?
At Internal Nesting Wellness, we believe the transition to parenthood requires more than a registry list. It calls for emotional readiness: strong communication, boundaries, mental health support, and space to process how your own story might shape your parenting journey.
This blog explores why internal nesting—preparing your mind, relationships, and emotional foundation—is the missing piece in how we prepare for parenthood.
