Your Partner in Postpartum Anxiety and OCD Support
At CBT For Better Living, we view therapy as a collaborative journey. Together, we’ll explore your unique postpartum challenges, such as constant worry about your baby’s health, hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, and feelings of inadequacy.
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment to understand how anxiety, guilt, and overwhelm are affecting your daily life. We’ll work on adjusting your expectations around parenting and self-care, gradually exposing you to activities that trigger anxiety, and helping you let go of unrealistic fears about your baby’s safety.
Throughout our sessions, we’ll set achievable goals to help you regain a sense of control, accept the natural anxiety that comes with new parenthood, and focus on the connection with your baby over the need for perfection.
