Postpartum Support Group

Support and connection during the transition into motherhood.

About the Group

The postpartum period can bring significant emotional and psychological changes. Many new mothers experience anxiety, mood shifts, overwhelm, sleep disruption, and feelings of isolation after the arrival of a baby.

Our Postpartum Support Group provides a supportive environment where mothers can talk openly about their experiences, connect with others navigating the same transition, and receive guidance from a licensed clinician.

This therapist-led group focuses on emotional support, coping strategies, and helping participants feel less alone during the early months of parenting.

Who This Group Is For

This group may be helpful for mothers who:

  • Feel overwhelmed or emotionally stretched after having a baby
  • Are experiencing postpartum anxiety or persistent worry
  • Feel isolated during early motherhood
  • Are adjusting to the emotional and identity changes of becoming a parent
  • Would benefit from connection with other mothers in a similar stage of life

 

Participants do not need a diagnosis of postpartum depression to attend.

To ensure a supportive and comfortable environment, group size is intentionally kept small.

Each group is limited to 6–8 participants, allowing time for meaningful discussion and connection among members.

Sessions are facilitated by a licensed clinician and include guided discussion as well as practical coping strategies.
