Allison Rimland, MS
Licensed Professional Counselor in Denver, Colorado
New Moms and Dads Are you a new mom or dad discovering that parenting is not what you expected? Are you and your spouse having a hard time adjusting and wondering if your relationship is headed for trouble? Do you feel anxious, sad, or overwhelmed as a parent? Many new parents may feel depressed, anxious, or stressed. If becoming a parent is more challenging than you expected, talking with a trained therapist about your feelings can be helpful.
Having a baby can be one of the most joyful experiences in a person's life. But what happens when everything isn't so perfect? I know, first hand, that the days and nights with a new baby can feel like a rollercoaster - one moment full of happiness, the next overwhelming and very challenging.
Whether you're a new mom who's feeling normal "baby blues," someone who wonders if you might have postpartum depression, or a couple trying to manage the stress of caring for an infant, I can help. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental therapy environment in which you can express your feelings, identify coping skills, and manage stress.
Remember: Happy parents make a happy and healthy baby.
