Becoming a parent is unlike any other journey. You’re often so busy taking care of everyone else that you don’t stop to pay attention to yourself. Parenthood is completely all encompassing, and can cause real shifts in your identity and levels of anxiety. With each new phase in a child’s life, whether having a newborn or dealing with teens or a newly empty nest, parents often need to adjust to:
new roles and identities
changes in relationships
career decisions and work-life balance shifts
anxiety over your child’s development
mood changes
sleep issues
At Stacy Babbitt Therapy, we carve out opportunities to find a new balance, adjust to all of the recent changes, and feel grounded in your role as a parent. Stacy gives you a safe space to process your feelings, and you’ll spend time redefining and learning to accept your new identity. For new moms, Stacy can diagnose and treat postpartum depression and address any postpartum mood struggles. For all parents, Stacy provides you with the insights and skills to cope with anxiety and better respond to pressures and expectations.
