Offerings:
Raise your hand if you feel under-supported in finding the time and energy to process the monumental transformative experience that is becoming a parent. Us too! That’s why we created the New Parent Diaries. And as two therapists who love working with new parents, we are here to support you. Whether you are interested in group or individual support, we want to help you feel less alone as you move through this unique time of your life. Let’s be in this together.
the new parent Support GROUP
As stewards of The New Parent Diaries, we have found writing to be a powerful tool for folks to process and make sense of big life transitions. It only made sense to expand the project into support groups so parents could connect with one another in real time. We bring our skills as somatic and expressive arts therapists to lovingly and expertly hold the small groups of parents that come together virtually. We will be keeping the groups small and intimate.
