With Christ-centered guidance, new parents are supported in healing emotionally and spiritually, restoring hope, and building confidence as they navigate the joys and demands of parenthood.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Giving birth and raising a child is one of the most significant adjustments any parent must make that requires us to accommodate ourselves to the presence of an infant/young child who is dependent on us. This can (and almost certainly does at times) feel desperate to the point that we don't know what to do. It is vital that we allow ourselves some degree of self-compassion to know and accept these overwhelming circumstance in order to reach out to others for support and guidance to help us through.

Trauma Therapy Company Ohio
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Being a parent is already hard enough and doesn’t come with an instruction manual. We often learn that we parent and teach our children the way we were brought up. We take a step back and look and sometimes say, well we didn’t turn out so bad even though we had trauma. But in reality, we are fighting against ourselves to break habits and change but find ourselves sometimes stuck in old ways.
I am by no means the perfect parent and I have had to relearn how to parent my three children. I always feel extreme guilt because my oldest son who is now six had to endure the me that was struggling with trauma and I parented him that way. I often yelled and didn’t know how to handle meltdowns of his because I was never taught to regulate my emotions. His screaming made me spiral and it was like I just saw a black screen in my brain and everything went downhill with it. I used techniques I thought made sense that my mother used on me, but looking back they were awful and not at all affectionate, loving or beneficial for my son. I had to accept that I messed up but have made up for it by learning myself and getting in tune with my son. I changed the way I speak, or handle situations with my daughters and I feel parenthood has been easier (for what it can be with three wild children). I also had a mother who had total influence over my life and would interfere with how I would parent. For that reason and some others, I decided to cut ties with the relationship. Was it the hardest thing I had to do, yes… but by doing this my children are flourishing and this mama is free and can make her own decisions and feel good about them.
You may have parents who are still in your life and have influence on how you raise your children. You could be turning to social media with unrealistic expectations which causes you to feel bad about yourself and ways of parenting. Or you may just be stuck in your ways and you want to change but you don’t know how.
Trauma can be an all-encompassing construct that includes a spectrum of different experiences, we define trauma as abuse endured during childhood in terms of physical neglect or abuse, emotional neglect or abuse, and sexual abuse.

The Empowering Space PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Compassionate Support for Postpartum Depression
Bringing a baby into the world is often painted as a joyful experience, but for many parents, it can also bring overwhelming feelings of sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, or isolation.

At The Empowering Space, we provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can process your emotions, regain balance, and feel supported in your journey through new parenthood.
Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and practical coping strategies, we help new parents navigate mood changes, intrusive thoughts, feelings of guilt, and the challenges of adjusting to life with a baby.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Nobody warned you it could feel like this. The exhaustion that sleep does not touch. The fear that arrives out of nowhere. The sense that you should be happy and cannot find your way to it. This is not a character flaw and it is not a lack of faith. I specialize in the perinatal season, and I can help you name what is happening and find your feet again.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
New parenthood is often idealized as a joyful, magical time—but for many mothers and fathers, it brings unexpected waves of sadness, disconnection, or anxiety. You may feel emotionally flat, cry uncontrollably, or find it hard to bond with your baby. These experiences can be confusing and isolating, especially when the world expects you to feel nothing but joy. Therapy offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to tend to your emotional needs—so you can care for yourself even as you care for your child. You don’t have to suffer in silence or feel ashamed for struggling. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with mothers in the months and years after birth who feel “off” in ways that others don’t always see. Many of the mothers I see look like they are managing from the outside, while feeling anything but okay on the inside. You may love your baby and still feel overwhelmed, numb, irritable, or not at home in your own life.
Some have had medically complicated or frightening births, NICU stays, pregnancy or birth complications, or babies with ongoing medical needs. Others had births that looked fine from the outside, but something about the experience or the aftermath has left them feeling unlike themselves.
Postpartum experiences can include persistent sadness or emptiness; anxiety, racing thoughts, or a sense of dread that does not match what is happening; intrusive thoughts or images, including fears about something happening to your baby; replaying the birth or hospital stay and wondering if you did something wrong; irritability or feeling on edge with your baby, partner, or other children; difficulty sleeping, eating, or caring for yourself even when you technically have the chance; feeling disconnected from your baby, your body, or the person you used to be; shame or guilt that you are not enjoying this time the way you thought you would; and loneliness even when you are rarely alone.
For mothers whose babies had NICU stays or ongoing medical issues, there may also be ongoing vigilance and fear, medical trauma, and the sense that you never really got a chance to just be home with your baby. I have spent more than three decades sitting with women in the perinatal season, and I know how varied “postpartum” can be.
In our work together, we slow things down and make room for your full experience without judgment. Your birth story, your mood, your fears, and your exhaustion are all welcome here. From there, we explore small, realistic shifts that help you feel more anchored, supported, and less alone in this season of your life. You do not have to be in crisis to reach out, or to prove that you are “struggling enough.” Feeling off, unlike yourself, or quietly overwhelmed is enough.
