“I’m a new parent and am having a hard time adjusting.”
“My life is so different now that we have a baby and I don’t know how to cope.”
“I am so overwhelmed with life as a new parent and need some guidance.”
Becoming a parent for the first time is a life-altering event, and we may not feel prepared for all the changes it brings. Your schedule becomes dictated by someone reliant on you for every need, your hygiene and self-care may take a back seat, and your relationships become strained—not to mention sleep deprivation. These are common side-effects of being a new parent, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy transition.
You don’t have to wade through this change alone. Our counselors can help you navigate life as a new parent by listening to your struggles, validating your experiences, and giving you coping skills to thrive in this new role. Despite what social media may tell you, parenting is hard, and when you’re just starting on this journey, many parts of your life are uprooted, changed, or look different than before. We can help you find your new normal, help you keep your individuality while caring for a new person, and help keep your relationships strong and healthy.
Being a new parent can having such physical and emotional symptoms like:
Fatigue
Depression
Body image issues
Feelings of isolation
Anger or anxiety about having less freedom
Guilt
Mood swings
