Preparing for Baby

INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPY PROGRAM

I consistently see couples in the postpartum stage who wished they had come to see me before giving birth.

Couple relationships always get rocked in the adjustment to welcoming a baby, and you, your partner, and your child(ren) deserve the smoothest and most peaceful transition possible.

My PREPARING FOR BABY individualized therapy program is based on years of clinical experience, research, social support experience, and work with Postpartum Support Virginia & Postpartum Support International.

You can choose from 12, 16, or 18 week session options.

The Format includes:

  • An initial 100 minute session for me to understand your relationship dynamics and goals, and to choose priorities of where to focus in next sessions.

  • Subsequent 60 minute sessions that cover: an overview of couple & family adjustment in postpartum stage and adapting to a new baby, realistic expectations of yourselves & each other in the transition, strategies for maintaining your emotional connection, building back your sexual connection, and feeling supported all while adjusting to the great demands and joys of a new child.

Rather than having a set plan for each couple, I tailor the plan for subsequent sessions based on your couple’s specific deepest longings and priorities. I am transparent about the plan with you as we collaborate and you approve how we move forward.

***I also have a podcast Bonds after Baby that addresses relationship issues after baby comes for additional support and perspective.
