Therapy for New Moms in Richmond, VA

Becoming a mother is a profound and life-changing experience, but it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. At Acacia Counseling and Consultative Services in Richmond, Virginia, we offer specialized therapy for new moms seeking support with the transition into motherhood. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating postpartum depression, or facing anxiety, our team is here to help you feel supported, heard, and empowered. 

Understanding the Challenges New Moms Face

Motherhood often comes with certain expectations from society, loved ones, and ourselves. You may experience a range of emotions, including feeling exhausted, isolated, anxious, or uncertain in your new role. You might even grieve the loss of your former identity or feel guilty for not enjoying every moment. 

We provide compassionate support for new mothers navigating these emotional shifts. Our therapists are here to offer tools, insight, and a safe space to express yourself. We help new moms work through: 

• Emotional overwhelm and burnout 

• Postpartum depression and anxiety 

• Relationship strain with a partner or family 

• Identity shifts and loss of independence 

• Perinatal mood disorders 

• Birth trauma or difficult delivery 

• Difficulties bonding with the baby 

Our licensed therapists use evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to process intense emotions, and mindfulness-based approaches to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of peace. We’ll help you strengthen your emotional resilience and reconnect with your sense of self.
