When Worry Takes Over the Postpartum Experience
Understanding the signs and symptoms of postpartum anxiety and finding support.
Everyone talks about how exhausting life with a new baby can be. Fewer people talk about the constant worry.
You may find yourself checking on your baby repeatedly, struggling to relax, or feeling like your mind is always searching for the next thing that could go wrong. Even when everything seems fine, you can't quite convince yourself that it is.
Postpartum anxiety can leave you feeling exhausted, on edge, and disconnected from the experience you hoped motherhood would be. Postpartum anxiety often looks very different from what people expect. To learn more about how anxiety can show up after having a baby, read What Does Postpartum Anxiety Actually Feel Like?
If this sounds familiar, therapy can help.

Postpartum anxiety is not a sign that you're doing motherhood wrong. In fact, many women wonder whether what they're experiencing is normal new-parent worry or something more. Postpartum Anxiety vs Normal New Mom Worry explores some of the common differences.
Postpartum anxiety is often the result of a nervous system that is working overtime to protect what matters most to you.
Together, we'll work to understand what's driving your anxiety, develop practical tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and worries, and help you feel more present in your daily life.
