Therapy for dads
 

Therapy for Dads

Support with parenting, identity, relationships, and trauma.

 

Are you an expectant or new parent struggling with your new identity as a father? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the growing responsibilities to your child, partner, and job? Are you finding yourself feeling irritable, stressed, confused, or depressed? Or is your partner struggling with Postpartum Depression or Anxiety?

Birthing parents aren’t the only ones who struggle when a baby is brought into the world. Fathers are just as needing and deserving of support. You need a space where you can feel truly heard and understood. Where you can process all of these changes and figure out what you want this next phase of your life to look like.

 

You don’t have to figure all of this out on your own.


Therapy can help you understand what’s contributing to the challenges you’ve been facing and establish effective strategies to address them, improve your communication with your romantic partner, family, friends, or co-workers, and regain your feelings of self-confidence and direction.
