Welcoming A Baby

Expecting?

The lead-up to welcoming a baby into your family is a particularly exciting and charged time. Couples often feel a range of emotions that may need extra time and space to process. There are also tangible elements of bringing a baby home that lend themselves to concrete, logistical planning with a knowledgeable third party.

The couples intensive I offer for soon-to-be parents helps the family establish its secure base to minimize disruption in the early days of intense adjustment after birth. The first year with a baby tends to be a time of decreased relationship satisfaction yet there are many interventions you can implement which can set you up for success in this exciting and challenging time.

This is an opportunity to deepen your relationship and set up healthy patterns in an accelerated way. It’s also a private and tailored experience for those who don’t feel comfortable in a workshop setting with other families.

What to expect:

• 1 45-minute intake to establish goals, ground rules and initiate the therapeutic bond

• 2 2-hour intensive sessions to establish strengths, discuss communication strategies, common pitfalls and a rescue plan

• A written report of my clinical observations and suggestions for forward planning as you approach the birth of your baby

Cost:
