Did everyone tell you how wonderful pregnancy would be? Or how beautiful childbirth is? And now you feel like they all lied to your face. Or worse, maybe it was amazing for them but it’s terrible for you. You don’t get it and you’re wondering, Did I do something wrong? You’re feeling alone and misunderstood. Or maybe you’re struggling with life transitions such as parenting, a job change, or recovering from a scary event. I’m here to tell you that you can feel better, moving forward in your season of life with feelings of being in control, hopeful, and confident.

As a PMH-C & EMDR provider, mom of 2 boys, & as a person who has experienced life changes-I get it. I have walked in your shoes, felt the same exhaustion. I also found ways to heal. For the last 10 yrs, I’ve helped women, moms,& moms-to-be who were navigating big life changes including perinatal, pregnancy & postpartum, motherhood, & the aftermath of trauma.

I believe you deserve someone who understands your unique challenges and provides a safe space & the skill building needed to heal & guide you to new seasons of life. Together, we will work on helping you feel less exhausted, frustrated, & lonely, & instead feel confident, at peace, & connected. Reach out today for a free consult.

Groups

Mother2Mother Therapy Group

Hosted by

Victoria Rutsch

Many moms have a hard time after having a baby. Sometimes, it can really help to talk openly with other moms who are going through the same thing. I offer both in-person and virtual supportive therapy groups for moms with babies under one year of age. In these small, judgement-free groups, I introduce a new topic related to motherhood each time we all meet. Please contact me to be pre-screened for the group and to reserve a spot. (Feel free to bring your baby.)
