Therapy for Moms
Motherhood is a rewarding but often overwhelming journey, filled with unique challenges that can test a woman’s mental and emotional resilience. From the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth to the ongoing pressures of nurturing a child, moms are constantly balancing the needs of their family with their own personal well-being. The societal expectations placed on moms to "do it all" – from maintaining a household to excelling in a career – can lead to feelings of inadequacy and burnout. Sleep deprivation, lack of personal time, and the constant worry about their child's development can also contribute to anxiety and stress. We understand how these challenges can be especially difficult for new mothers, as they navigate the unfamiliar terrain of parenthood while trying to maintain their sense of identity.
​
Therapy can be an invaluable resource for navigating the challenges of parenthood, offering support and tools to enhance emotional well-being and resilience. At Daybreak Mental Health, we incorporate mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, and Child-Parent Relationship Training (CPRT). Mindfulness helps you to stay present in the moment, reducing stress and anxiety by fostering self-compassion and emotional regulation. IFS allows individuals to explore their internal emotional landscape, addressing unresolved parts of themselves. It helps people understand and heal their inner worlds, creating more balanced responses to daily stressors. Meanwhile, CPRT strengthens the bond between parent and child, equipping moms with communication and empathy skills that foster healthier relationships. This holistic approach not only eases the burden of motherhood but also empowers mothers to feel more grounded, connected, and capable in their parenting journey.
