Couples Therapy Postpartum
Couples navigating life after baby deserve a specialist who understands this unique time of life. They need someone who understands not just the challenges of this time period, but also the opportunities.
Opportunities to bond, heal, and play as you expand your roles into new domains of parenthood.
This is time to showcase what kind of love model you can be for your new baby. Not superhuman, without all the ample emotion that comes in this stressful time of life, but someone with skills.
Someone dedicated to keeping your love alive not just for baby, but for your partner, and even yourself.
Couples therapy in the postpartum period can help you to respond to the shifts, not just to blindly react.
You are buidling a legacy here, learning together to honor your feelings, and to make them relational.
What if you could share fears and longings in a safe, compassionate space? What if you could invest in your bond in a way that prioritized your tender hearts?
Receiving support in this time of life makes way for a long term vison of healthy interdependence that can soothe the nervous system and make way for love and connection.
What To Expect from Therapy
Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we will work together. We will utilize bonding opportunities from the eight Hold Me Tight conversations from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, an evidence-based modality.
We will explore communication techniques from the Bringing Baby Home curriculum developed by the Gottman Institute.
We will create a space to increase your self compassion as you navigate new identities and grieve old identities. We will use compassionate inquiry to learn more about the emotional space inside of you, and also the emotional space between partners.
