Having a baby can change your entire world overnight.

You may love your baby more than anything and still feel exhausted, anxious, frustrated, or completely overwhelmed.

If you’re in San Diego, Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad, or Encinitas, you don’t have to handle these feelings alone.

When Parenthood Feels Like Too Much

Maybe you’re thinking:

  • “I can’t keep up with everything.”
  • “I don’t have time for myself anymore.”
  • “Why am I so anxious?”
  • “Everyone expects me to be happy.”
  • “I miss my old life.”
  • “I don’t feel like myself.”

These thoughts don’t make you a bad parent.

New parenthood comes with major changes to your sleep, body, relationships, routines, and identity.

You May Be Dealing With More Than Exhaustion

Furthermore, overwhelm can be linked to postpartum anxiety, depression, or birth trauma.

You may constantly worry about your baby’s safety, feel guilty about needing help, or replay a difficult pregnancy or birth experience.

Moreover, Perinatal, Postpartum & Parenting Support offers a safe space to address these challenges.

What Can Actually Help?

Therapy can give you space to slow down and figure out what’s really going on.

  • Managing anxiety and racing thoughts

You Don’t Have to Do Everything

There is no prize for doing parenthood completely on your own.

Sometimes getting better starts with admitting: “This is a lot, and I need some support.”

That’s exactly what therapy can provide.
