Do you treat your friends and family with kindness - but not yourself? If your friend had a bad day, you'd soothe and comfort her, wouldn't you? If you have a bad day, do you treat yourself with that same care? Or do you beat yourself up over every mistake? It's time to learn to treat yourself with Grace. With Kindness. With Compassion. Grace is an emotional resource that can be given and received. It can be given to yourself or to others. At Grace Street Counseling, we help you with strategies to release guilt & shame and treat yourself with grace. https://www.gracestreetcounseling.com/perinatal-mental-health-1 daily 0.75 2022-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1b5ee1fc-c7cc-4028-8937-3ccf282b3d26/unsplash-image-lAnebLl33nw.jpg Perinatal Mental Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/e31f4309-b175-4a20-9f58-eec5152d4fdc/unsplash-image-fwjsBPbRm4g.jpg Perinatal Mental Health - What happens at a session for Perinatal Mental Health? We believe that every mom-to-be or new mom should have access to information and a community. Pregnancy and becoming a parent is something so many people want to be but there is no class that tells you how to get through the transition 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. https://www.gracestreetcounseling.com/maternal-mental-health-for-mothers daily 0.75 2022-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1652904746773-5GQ3YLLZA1EJ8N20VZPO/unsplash-image-TcU3qa6lg68.jpg Maternal Mental Health - For Mothers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1652904613536-7JWJSB8QPXL8VYS0U7ZR/unsplash-image-zHMhEampZuI.jpg Maternal Mental Health - For Mothers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1652904695009-C3RNW11EKIE8JJZNJ4PL/unsplash-image-cdmK19B88_w.jpg Maternal Mental Health - For Mothers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/3b163f90-ac5c-408d-861c-a628f0bf8716/unsplash-image-7tGqLzHcjZ8.jpg Maternal Mental Health - For Mothers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/32eebaed-4b97-40c5-863b-30c9e4a6a35f/unsplash-image-uZjV42FWnag.jpg Maternal Mental Health - For Mothers - What happens at a session for Maternal Mental Health?

All new parents have a birth story, and life radically changes the day they walk in as individuals and walk out as parents. Everyone should have the opportunity, if they want, to share their story in a judgement free zone. There are a lot of serious conditions and complications that can occur in the perinatal period. We can’t lose sight that real people also do get better and become the parent they dreamed of while being the person they were meant to be. On a larger scale this specific specialization is both underrepresented in the mental health field and also quite misunderstood by the general population. It isn't all extreme depression and/or psychosis (although that does occur) a lot of what we do is supporting women and their spouse/partner through the changing roles of becoming a parent while maintaining that healthy semblance of who they are as a person, a wife, a daughter, etc. 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). That's what this is. Michelle says, “the community of expectant and new parents is unlike any other. I remember benefiting so much from this when I became a new mom and I feel very strongly that everyone should have access to information and a community of sorts during this transformation.” https://www.gracestreetcounseling.com/about-us daily 0.75 2023-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/5fb79e46-3ba4-4c38-9882-d1ddd612fb9c/20200406_160436.jpg About Us Michelle Friedman LCSW, PMH-C https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1607985367590-XEVL5YPCTY1Q7G0N1IX1/naswlogo.jpg About Us Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1607985413185-DEUOIN9YQFSKBSSRCRLG/SBU+logo.jpg About Us Stony Brook Unviersity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1607985325344-WZSW5AJLUE72HF12TS3Y/PMH-C+logo.jpg About Us Perinatal Mental Health Certified PSI https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac9afbc200bc2d99d54046/1607985392742-XYSI8QZECW2353P6VBDD/RNE+Professional+Member+Badge.jpg About Us Mental Health Resolve
