What Am I Now That I'm a Parent?
Becoming a parent transforms your life profoundly—changing roles, responsibilities, and even your sense of self. If you've felt disconnected from who you once were or struggle with the invisible load of parenthood, you're not alone. Therapy can help you navigate this shift, rediscover your voice, and find balance again.

All parents, mothers & fathers, can experience identity loss
More than 20% of new mom's and 5% of fathers experience symptoms of postpartum depression.
Signs You Might be Experiencing Identity Loss
Beginning to feel disconnected from your passions and the things that interest you in life can be a good indicator of feeling lost in yourself.
Are you struggling to balance personal needs with parenting responsibilities? We get it. Managing yourself and others is challenging, but taking care of yourself allows you take care of others.
Outside of being parent, who am I? It is easy to fold our entire life into being a parent, so if you’re asking that question it is a good sign you’re feeling too consumed in your role as a parent.
But you're not alone. And you're not invisible.
Reclaiming your sense of self is vital for both your well-being and your ability to parent effectively. By reconnecting with your personal identify & learning to manage the daily emotional load, you can find the joy, energy and clarity in your life to be the person and parent you want to be.
We can help you.
Our clinicians know how to work with new parents, and use evidence-based approaches to treatment like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), or Emotionally Focused Therapy (ETF) to deliver successful outcomes.
