Perinatal Mental Health Counseling in Colorado Springs, CO

Make Meaning of Your Story of Parenthood and Loss

Scared. Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Out of control and powerless.

Things didn’t go as planned.  

Feeling lonely and misunderstood in the adjustment to parenthood; even disconnected from your partner.

Responsible for everything and let down by extended family or friends.

You are not alone we hear this same experience from so many parents. We are told that it is supposed to be one of the best experiences in our life, yet it feels so much different…

You feel like you can’t keep having days and nights like this anymore. You don’t want to miss out on your baby’s milestones or to feel like these experiences are affecting the attachment between you and your baby or your family as a whole.

Finding the path to change...

The truth though is that you are not alone and there is a path toward healing. You will be able to come out from under the cloud to be fully present with your baby.  

You CAN take action to find relief in what you’re feeling that will lead you to enjoying parenthood.

You deserve space to share your story about what is happening without fear or shame that someone will think differently of your capacity as a parent. 

Why is this happening to me?

During the perinatal period, many women experience significant depression, anxiety, intrusive repetitive thoughts, panic, rage, or post-traumatic stress. These mood changes can also occur with miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.  

“Baby blues” happen for 80% of new mothers during the first 2-3 weeks after birth. This adjustment period is a common experience, but most parents are not aware that if increased emotional distress extends beyond the first few weeks postpartum, then you should be assessed for a perinatal mood disorder.   

New parents, including moms, dads, adoptive parents, and partners, can all experience perinatal mood disorders.

Therapy that Works.

Therapy helps get to the root cause of perinatal mood disorders by processing the memories of the birth so you can think and feel about them differently. 

After therapy is successful you will be able to focus on developing a healthy relationship and attachment with your baby.  

You will have the skills to return to stability of mood on your own if you ever have a hiccup down the road. 

You will feel awakened and excited to parent your baby and gain a peace within you about your ability to do this parenting thing! 

Finding the right guide.

We have met with many women in the perinatal period who just needed someone to share their experiences with; to be heard and to get their experiences out in the open.  

This is one of the most important treatment approaches: to not walk this out alone. Once we’ve connected, the trauma-informed approaches, EMDR, and relational supports will move you toward the fullness of healing you desire.

We know it is hard to feel energized to begin this healing journey, we have been there. But you are worth this step, for you, your baby, and your family. 

We are looking forward to partnering with you in making this happen.
