You're not failing—you're adjusting. And you're not alone.

Becoming a mom changes everything. Your body. Your relationships. Your sense of self. What no one tells you is that it’s okay if it feels like too much sometimes.

 

At Blaire Melius Counseling, we specialize in therapy for new moms across Massachusetts - virtually, from the comfort of your home. Whether you're navigating postpartum anxiety or postpartum depression, feeling emotionally overloaded, or just trying to hold it together during midnight feedings, this space is for you.

​

Postpartum isn’t just a phase. It’s a transformation.

Many new moms tell us:

• “I should be enjoying this, but I feel like I’m drowning.”

• “I’m crying for no reason and snapping at everyone.”

• “I love my baby, but I miss who I was.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The early months after birth can bring waves of overwhelm, guilt, resentment, and confusion. These feelings are common, but you don’t have to face them alone.

​

What we can work on together:

• Processing your birth story—no matter how it unfolded

• Managing intrusive thoughts and postpartum anxiety

• Rebuilding identity after becoming a parent

• Navigating the emotional mental load and relationship shifts

• Learning tools to manage overstimulation, resentment, or burnout

You don’t need to wait for things to get worse. If you’ve noticed that the joy is buried under a constant sense of unease, therapy can help you breathe again.

 

Virtual therapy across New Jersey

Whether you're in Montclair, Princeton, Jersey City, or a quiet suburb in between, we offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online sessions designed to meet you exactly where you are (yes, even if you're nursing during our call or sitting on the floor in your sweats).

​

This is your space to feel seen, not judged.

We bring clinical expertise in maternal mental health and a deep respect for the messy, beautiful reality of motherhood. You deserve a therapist who gets it - one who won’t tell you to “just sleep when the baby sleeps” or minimize your anxiety with a silver lining.
