Maternal Mental Health
Maternal Mental Health
at Grace Street Counseling
Our focus is to help you strengthen your life as a mom and gain clarity. We work with a wide range of emotional issues and discuss in a safe and supportive atmosphere that is tailored to your specific needs. Our approach helps you to achieve personal growth and make parenthood less burdensome.
As a mother or new mother:
you might be anxious
you might obsess about things
you might fear conversations or comments by others
you might not know the best way to assert yourself without the risk of ruining relationships
you might be depressed and still have to care for your newborn (and others)
you might have intrusive or scary thoughts.
If you’re feeling any of these emotions, we’re here to help you. To find out more about our counseling services or to schedule a consultation, please call 631-540-0554.
What happens at a session for Maternal Mental Health?
We believe that everyone should have access to information and a community as a mom or new mom. Being a parent is something so many people want to be but there is no class that tells you how to be a great parent without losing sight of your life experience, your unique relationship, and your life goals (career or otherwise).
In your initial session, we will get to know you both from an acute perspective; what is going on in this moment that brings you to therapy, and also a holistic perspective; how your concerns are impacting you on a physical, emotional, spiritual, and of course mental level.
In our work together, we frequently check in and learn about how you view your progress, what changes you have noticed, and the areas that still need attention.
Our role as a therapist is to provide the tools to enable you to feel more in control of your life and promote your overall wellness.
