Free In Person Pregnancy & Postpartum Support Group
Meets 2 Wednesdays a month from 11 am-12 pm in the Denver Office
The journey to motherhood is not for the faint of heart. Those who bear children understand what it has taken to get to the journey of motherhood. Surrounding yourself with others that are a similar spot in life can bring validation to the thoughts and feelings that a new mother is experiencing.
Some have weighed through infertility, others may have become pregnant unexpectedly, others may have been planning and conceived without issue, whatever your story is, there is space for you here.
Women have been gathering since the beginning – to share, to connect, to heal. This next phase of your life deserves that same level of community as other transitional life phases have benefited from.
Why Join?
The goals of this group are to help expecting and new mothers to:
Feel more present
Feel better about yourself during this journey
Increase self-compassion
Increase a sense of self-worth
Creating a less critical inner voice
Increase connections with others and yourself
Feeling prepared to go into this journey feeling more aligned with yourself so you can feel empowered to make the best decisions for yourself and your baby
Learn how to communicate with others and set boundaries with others as you enter into motherhood
Explore ways to communicate with your partner about how adding this new person into your relationship will impact your relationship with them and vice versa
In this support program we will cover topics that relate to the stage of becoming a mother that you are in, at any stage of pregnancy
Pregnancy, postpartum and parenting can be challenging, but it doesn't have to feel so overwhelming or lonely. This group offers virtual meet-up outside of the sessions to continue to support and build connections with those in the group to make your journey a little easier. The group is welcoming, open, and relaxed, led by therapists trained in Perinatal Mental Health with a focus on improving mental wellness to help you thrive, not just survive, during early parenting.
Consultation call with Stephanie Konter-O’Hara, LPC will occur prior to joining group to assure good-fit with group.
If you’re interested please email: hello@wellmindedcounseling.com to connect with Stephanie directly.
Why a group?
The intention of this group is to help expecting mothers and new mothers have a sense of community and build connections to help the journey of motherhood feel less lonely or isolating. Often new mothers have this feeling or belief that they have to go this journey alone or that you have to do this all by yourself. Especially in these early stages when being a new mother can feel like a lot, from the growing of a human, to the birthing of your child, to healing from brith yourself, to learning this new role and new self.
Finding a place where you can truly share your journey judgement free, feeling heard/understood, and connection is the not always easy in todays world. They say it takes a village to raise a child and in modern society thats not really built in to the current structure. So in order to build your own, I encourage you to reach out today.
Through group and intentional time spent together, the building of empathy, compassion, and connection can blossom. If you have an hour a week to be simply witnessed, held and supported, radical transformation and acceptance is possible.
