Does this feel like your postpartum experience?
⟡ You adore your baby but the day-to-day reality feels heavier & more overwhelming than you expected.
⟡ Lack of sleep is impacting your mood, patience, and ability to cope.
⟡ You find yourself missing who you were before becoming a mom—and feel guilty even thinking that.
⟡ You’re spending a lot of time alone and wondering why it seems easier for everyone else.
⟡ You wish more people spoke honestly about how hard early motherhood can be.
We’re not just therapists – we’re moms, too. We know firsthand how isolating and confusing this season can feel, especially when you're trying to hold it all together on your own. That’s exactly why we created this online postpartum group: to give you a place to learn practical emotional support tools while also connecting with other new moms throughout California who truly get it.

WHAT TO EXPECT
How our postpartum support group works
Each session is held online in a consistent, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are. We intentionally keep the group small so that every mom has space to share, connect, and feel genuinely supported – not lost in a large virtual room.
During sessions, you can expect:
A gentle opening check-in to help you settle in
Conversations around common postpartum challenges like sleep, anxiety, identity shifts, relationships, and feeding
Time for open sharing and connection with other moms
Thoughtful guidance, insights, and practical tools from your therapists
Space to reflect, ask questions, and be heard
This isn’t a lecture or class. It’s a place to exhale, feel less alone, and reconnect with yourself. Sessions are held at a consistent time to create a sense of rhythm and reliability, and we do our best to match schedules that work for the group.
ABOUT US
Meet your new postpartum support group therapists
Rachel Neporent, LCSW
My name is Rachel Neporent and I am a Licenced Clinical Social Worker (LSCW) I offer a trauma-informed, patient-first, relational approach in my work with moms. My path to becoming a therapist was deeply personal, shaped by my own transformative experiences in my own therapy as well as my experiences as a mom. It's with that very particular kind of empathy that I approach my work with you as your therapist. I am committed to helping moms find paths to healing, self-care, self-worth, and a life more grounded in positive wellness.
Justine Gordon, LMFT
My name is Justine Gordon and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Born and raised in California, I have always loved getting to know new people and place a high value on being open-minded and caring. My own experiences as a mom have deeply inspired me to want to help other mothers going through the same experiences I struggled with. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative, and judgment-free space where moms can feel seen and understood, learn more about themselves and find a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being.

-
Our intention for the free session is to provide a gentle, low-pressure space where moms who are interested in joining our group can meet us and get a feel for the group without having to commit to the full series in advance.
During the session, we’ll give you a glimpse of what our regular Postpartum Support Circle sessions will look like. We’ll guide a simple check-in, share some practical postpartum mental health tools and offer space for connection with the other moms and share a bit about how the full Postpartum Support Circle works.
There’s no pressure to share or participate in any specific way unless you want to.
-
Not at all. The intro session is simply a chance to experience the space and see if it feels like the right fit for you. If it does, we’ll share how to join and the next steps. If not, that’s completely okay too.
-
So is everyone else, they just might not say it out loud. It’s completely normal. You are not expected to share right away, you can come, listen, and ease in at your own pace.
-
No pressure at all. You can absolutely just listen. Many moms start that way and find that over time, it feels easier to speak up when it feels right.
-
Yes, we are moms, we understand. If your baby needs you during the session, you are absolutely welcome to have them with you. Feeding, rocking, occasional chaos… all part of the experience. We want you to get the most of the group so we support however that works best for you!
-
We get it, life with a baby can be unpredictable. While we encourage consistency (it really helps the group feel more connected), missing a session is okay. Payment is required upfront for the full group, so missed sessions are not refundable… consider it motivation to log on even if you’re in sweats and holding a baby. We also do not record sessions in order to protect everyone’s confidentiality, but we are always here if questions come up between sessions.
-
It’s a bit of both. The group is therapist led and grounded in clinical knowledge, but it’s also a space for real conversation, shared experiences, and feeling less alone in what you’re going through. It is not a substitute for individual therapy, but it can be a really meaningful complement to it.
-
No problem at all. For some moms, working 1:1 instead of a group can feel more supportive and nourishing during the postpartum period. If that sounds like you, you can learn about me postpartum therapy services here.
-
Creating a space that feels safe and respectful is really important to us. At the start of the group, we go over clear guidelines around confidentiality and ask that everyone agrees to not share what others disclose outside of the group. While we can’t control what people do outside of it, we are very intentional about who joins and set a strong tone of care, respect, and privacy from the beginning. In our experience, when that foundation is in place, people show up with a lot of thoughtfulness toward one another.
