Alright, new parents. Let's get real for a minute. You’ve just brought a tiny human into the world, and while it’s absolutely miraculous, it’s also, well, a lot. Sleep is a distant memory, your routine is non-existent, and every ounce of your energy feels like it's being poured into keeping that little one alive and thriving.

Amidst the beautiful chaos of newborn care and postpartum recovery, one of the things that often takes a hit is your relationship with your partner. You might find yourselves snapping at each other, feeling misunderstood, or just completely missing each other in the haze of exhaustion.

The journey through pregnancy and new parenthood is a rollercoaster, right? It's filled with incredible love, but also a tidal wave of emotions and demands. If you're a new parent in New York (or expecting!), you know it can be a lot. As a perinatal mental health therapist, I see firsthand how tough it is for moms, dads, and caregivers to actually ask for help, even when they're truly struggling.
