Parenting Support & Postpartum Wellness
We help parents and caregivers navigate the emotional ups and downs of raising children — from postpartum changes to parenting challenges at any stage.
Why You’re Not Alone
Parenting is rewarding but also exhausting, confusing, and sometimes isolating. You may find yourself overwhelmed by:
Persistent anxiety, mood swings, or intrusive thoughts
Difficulty bonding with your baby
Conflicts in your parenting roles or identity shifts
Burnout, guilt, or feeling like you’re constantly failing
Struggling with discipline, sibling dynamics, or teen years
Postpartum changes in your relationship, work balance, or sense of self
These are not signs of weakness — they’re signs you’re human. And support can help.
How We Help
At Roman Counseling, we tailor our approach to you — your history, your child(ren), your personality, your stressors. Here’s what we offer:
1. Postpartum & Maternal Mental Health
You don’t have to “just get through it.” Whether you’re dealing with postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD-like worries, identity shifts, or trauma resurfacing — we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow.
2. Parenting Strategy & Coaching
From toddlers to teens, from single parenting to blended family dynamics, we partner with you to build emotional connection, healthy boundaries, and consistent discipline strategies — honoring your values, your child’s temperament, and your limits.
3. Stress, Burnout & Emotional Regulation
You can’t pour from an empty cup. We teach you evidence-based tools (mindfulness, cognitive reframing, self-compassion, distress tolerance) so you can manage overwhelm, reduce irritability, and sustain your emotional well-being in the long haul.
4. Relationship & Co-Parenting Support
Parenting doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We also support couples in navigating shared parenting, communication around roles, blending households, and repairing ruptures — so the family system grows stronger, not more stressed.
