Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health Therapy in Keller, TX
Maybe becoming a parent hasn't felt the way you thought it would. You may feel overwhelmed by how much has changed, anxious about things you never used to worry about, or like you're not quite yourself anymore.

You might be having a harder time than you expected
You're worrying about everything. Your mind won't shut off. You're exhausted, overwhelmed, or more irritable than you expected. You might be having thoughts you don't want to have, and they're scaring you.
You may be questioning yourself or wondering why you're having such a hard time when everyone else seems to be telling you that this is normal.
You don't even have to know exactly what's wrong. You just know that something feels different. And sometimes, that's enough reason to reach out.
