Therapy for postpartum and new moms in Brooklyn and Virtual

A place for new moms to feel supported, steadier, and less alone

The transition from pregnancy to postpartum to toddlerhood is intense. It’s beautiful—and also chaotic, overstimulating, emotional, and full of moments you never expected. Many mothers come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, guilty for not “enjoying it more,” or unsure how to manage the constant demands of this season. This is the stage where you most need support, not pressure to hold everything together. Therapy gives you space to breathe, understand what you’re feeling, and reconnect with yourself.

 

Why Therapy now for new parents?

Mothers often come to therapy when they feel like they’re losing themselves under the weight of caregiving, constant decisions, and emotional load. We’ll look at the patterns that leave you feeling depleted, resentful, anxious, or stuck—and uncover what you need to feel more grounded. Whether you’re navigating postpartum changes, the demands of early childhood, relationship tension, identity shifts, or the pressure to “get it right,” therapy can create room for you to be honest about what you’re carrying.

 

Therapy can help you navigate…

  • Postpartum anxiety, sadness, or intrusive thoughts

  • Overwhelm, overstimulation, and emotional exhaustion

  • Adjusting to life with a newborn or balancing multiple kids

  • Toddler tantrums, chaos, and the constant sensory overload

  • Feeling disconnected from your partner after baby

  • Resentment around the mental load or unequal responsibilities

  • Loss of identity or not recognizing yourself anymore

  • Mom guilt, comparison, and the pressure to “do it right”

  • Irritability or anger you don’t know how to talk about

  • The tension between loving your child and struggling with the reality of motherhood

  • Returning to work, navigating childcare, or staying home

  • Feeling touched-out, drained, or unsupported

When to consider therapy as a new mom?

  • You feel overwhelmed more days than not

  • Your emotions feel unpredictable and hard to manage

  • You’re constantly overstimulated and on edge

  • You love your baby but don’t feel like yourself

  • You feel resentment toward your partner or the mental load

  • Your anxiety makes it hard to relax or enjoy moments

  • You’re navigating postpartum depression or anxiety

  • Toddlerhood is bringing out stress, anger, or guilt you weren’t expecting

  • You’re exhausted by decision-making and constant caregiving

  • You feel lonely, even though you’re never technically alone

  • You’re grieving your old life or identity

  • You need a space where you get to fall apart without judgment

 

What to expect in therapy

Together, we’ll explore what’s happening emotionally, physically, and relationally during this demanding stage of motherhood. You’ll learn tools to regulate your nervous system, manage overwhelm, set boundaries that protect your energy, and communicate more clearly with your partner and support system. We’ll help you understand your emotional patterns and give you the skills to respond rather than react—especially during those difficult toddler moments.

Our goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and grounded as you navigate the hardest, most transformative years of motherhood. This isn’t about becoming the “perfect mom”—it’s about understanding what you’re carrying, healing what feels heavy, and building a foundation that sustains you as you care for your children.

We are certified postpartum mental health counselors from the Postpartum Support International. We use our relational approach as well as cognitive behavioral therapy to support parents. We also help parents with behavioral interventions with parenting.
