Does this sound familiar:
You are struggling with a transition in your life: a new baby, difficult relationship or something else leaving you feeling out of control?
Small things may feel overwhelming for no reason, you lash out at your partner, catch yourself crying out of nowhere or you feel lonely even while surrounded by others.
Life doesnβt have to stay this way.
We offer FREE consultation with our therapists.
Welcome to Amber Sperling Social Work and Psychotherapy Services.
We are here to help.
All of our therapists are highly trained to provide pregnancy, postpartum and trauma informed psychotherapy using both mind & body to relieve distress.
Our therapists know how it feels to be overwhelmed and we are here to help you build your umbrella to weather the storm using trauma-focused EMDR, REBT, IFS, CPT, DBT and other therapies.
Our clients walk away from therapy feeling more confident, thriving as parents and professionals, and with stronger relationships; you can be less anxious about life and have the motivation to live the life you want to live.
It is common for new parents to experience mood and anxiety changes through the parenting journey. Many people question, βam I a good enough momβ or βwhat am I doing wrong to feel this wayβ. Perhaps you struggle to sleep, are irritable or cry without knowing why. Social workers in our practice are Perinatal Mental Health Certified with training in many therapy options to meet your needs.
