It goes without saying that the quality of your mental health deeply impacts your quality of life as well as how well you are able to be present with your new responsibilities. There are many misconceptions around who goes to therapy and why a person goes. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU if you decide to seek assistance in processing life. Particular to maternal wellness, 70%-80% of women experience “Baby Blues” after birth that generally lasts for the first 2 weeks and goes away as the mother begins to adjust to her new role. However, 1 in 5 women will go on to experience and be diagnosed with Postpartum Depression. With both Baby Blues and PPD, having a professionally licensed therapist can assist with navigating the emotions of motherhood, feeling supported in decision making as well as feeling heard and understood over all.
