Couples
As expectant parents, you ar
e embarking on unknown territory. When pregnancy or child birth doesn’t go as planned, it can cause immense strain and distress within a couple. The experience challenges your emotions, your ability to cope, your developing parental identity, and your relationship itself. If your baby is in the NICU, or if he/she has been diagnosed with a disability, it can feel like no one understands the strain you are going through. Up to 70% of NICU parents are diagnosed with depression. Feeling out of control, desperate for good news, each partner navigating this road individually could create a disconnect between moms and dads. Taking the time to reconnect in couples therapy, we will draw upon your strengths as a couple, create more effective communication styles, and enhance your connection as a team during this difficult time. Contact me to schedule a couples therapy session; together, you can do this.
