That’s completely normal. Most moms feel some level of hesitation before joining a group like this – especially if it’s your first time. You don’t have to show up perfectly or know exactly what to say. You can simply come, listen, and take it at your own pace. We create a gentle, welcoming environment so it feels easier to settle in over time.

There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Many moms start by listening, and that’s just as valuable. You’re always in control of what you choose to say, and we’ll never put you on the spot. Often, just hearing others talk about similar experiences can feel incredibly validating.

Yes, absolutely. We understand that childcare isn’t always realistic during this stage of life. Babies are welcome in the space, and there’s no expectation that things will be quiet or perfectly uninterrupted.

We understand that life with a newborn can be unpredictable. While we encourage consistent attendance so you can get the most out of the group, missing a session occasionally is okay. You’ll still be able to stay connected and continue with the group.

This is a therapist-led support group, which means it blends emotional support, shared experiences, and gentle clinical guidance. It’s more interactive and relational than traditional therapy, but still grounded in professional expertise and evidence-based approaches.

If you’re needing more individualized or higher-level care, we can absolutely help guide you toward additional support. This group can be a great complement to individual therapy, but we’re also here to help you figure out what level of care feels right for you.

Creating a safe, respectful, and confidential environment is a top priority for us. We set clear group agreements at the beginning, including expectations around privacy and mutual respect. Our role as therapists is to hold the space in a way that helps everyone feel as comfortable and supported as possible.
