Pregnancy + Postpartum Counseling for Atlanta and Decatur
Pregnancy and Postpartum Therapy for Depression and Anxiety
You don’t remember the last time you got a full night's sleep, even when you try to rest your racing thoughts often keep you awake. People tell you to “enjoy this time” when your baby is small, but you feel overwhelmed and exhausted. So many things have changed and it all feels out of your control.
Each day is the same as the last and you often find yourself counting down the hours until your partner gets home and you can have a break…. and you feel so guilty for even thinking these thoughts! You love your baby more than you ever thought possible, but this is not what you imagined being a mother would be like.
It seems like all of the other moms have it figured out and are happy. You wonder if something is wrong with you, maybe you are not cut out for parenthood.
1 in 5 women will experience an anxiety or mood disorder during pregnancy or postpartum.
You are not alone and with help you can feel better. At Aspen Grove Counseling and Wellness we help women and their partners who are struggling with the adjustment to parenthood, whether that be with your first baby or your third.
Together we work to help you develop strategies to care for yourself while you are also caring for your growing family. We were not meant to parent in isolation, so we help you look for ways to grow your village and ask for help when needed.
We confront the “mom guilt” that so many moms feel and learn to accept that it is alright not to enjoy everything about being a mother… and that doesn't make you a bad parent! With therapy we can help you begin to be present and find more joy in your parenting journey.
Our therapists help with depression, anxiety, and OCD during pregnancy and postpartum. As well as birth trauma, loss, and infertility.
