Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting can be so hard at times and so different from what we expect it to be. Challenges we never saw coming might make us feel helpless, inadequate or ashamed. I have nearly 20 years of experience working with parents and guardians who are struggling with a number of issues including supporting children with special needs, depression and self-harm, disordered eating, anxiety, trauma, bullying, social isolation, mental health diagnoses, problems at school and addictions.

Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
For new parents, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about parenthood that don’t seem “right.”
For some, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new parenthood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Therapists who have extensive education and training in peri-natal mental health understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
Lack of focus and concentration
Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
Being constantly in a state of worry
If one or more of the above symptoms resonates with you, I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation. Together, we’ll find the underlying issues that make you feel disconnected from your baby and create a strategy for moving forward. Contact me today to see how I can help.

Parenting is the best and hardest job most of have ever had. One of the biggest challenges that parents face today is finding a balance between work and family life. This can often involve juggling multiple responsibilities at once, such as taking care of children, meeting deadlines at work, and keeping up with household duties.

Parenting can be joyful, surprising, stressful and overwhelming - often all in one day. Helping parents explore their own narrative around being parents, finding tools to healthy parenting and identifying obstacles that get in the way of mindful parenting are part of this work.
