Counselling for New Parents

Most of us imagine that having a baby will bring us closer together.  But the truth is, a new baby can shake the foundation of even the most connected relationships.

Becoming a new parent is one of the hardest tasks a couple will face, and for good reason: a new identity as a mother or father.  Hormonal changes.  Sleeplessness.  Next to no time for yourself.  Isolation.  And just dealing generally with all of the stress of life with a new baby!  These issues at up and become a perfect storm for resentment, disconnection, miscommunication, and even doubting the relationship itself or your decision to become parents.

Know that you aren't alone in your feelings - and you will get through it.

Therapy can help you to:

• Learn skills to help you communicate in a healthy way
• Learn how to “fight fairly”
• Figure out where to focus your energy
• Understanding what you want in a relationship
• Align your goals, priorities, and expectations
• Feel more connected to each other
• Rebuild after resentment
