Pregnancy & Postpartum Intensive Outpatient Program
Some of most beautiful and difficult times of our entire lives can be pregnancy and new motherhood. The beautiful part is obvious and celebrated/supported by your community. During pregnancy the immense creativity and femininity that emerges as you grow a baby and then birthing yourself as a mother. New motherhood can be a time of falling deeply in love and discovering a strength inside that we didn’t know before. Sometimes, however, the struggles can feel lonely and scary and aren’t talked about as much. During pregnancy there are fears of being like your own mother, concern about the baby’s health, fear about whether you are doing everything right to care for yourself and thereby the baby, fear about to how to get the baby out. As new mothers we face processing feelings about the birth if it didn’t go as planned, pressure to bond with the baby while sometimes managing postpartum anxiety or depression, and inadequacy fears while facing a steep learning curve. It is difficult to make it through those first few months sleep deprived with an infant even without piling on the other psychological issues that can emerge. Even in the best case scenario, motherhood is intense and relentless.
We care about this tender time for women for many reasons. Most of our team of clinicians are women and care deeply about women’s issues in general. We see lots of women struggle with pregnancy, birthing, and adjusting to motherhood. We also have a passion about intervening with mom’s during this critical period because we specialize in attachment and know the impact that early life experiences have on the growing baby’s future. This is a vitally important moment for mothers and babies alike to have the support they need.
Our program brings you together with other women going through the same thing so you feel connected and not alone as we help you heal whatever is activated during this time as well as provide psychoeducation to help you navigate what you are facing with skill and resource. We bring the level of compassion, gentleness, and holding that this tender time of life calls for and we care for you at all levels of the experience. Please feel free to give us a call if you’d like to talk through whether our intensive program would be a good fit for you.
