Perinatal Mental Health and Postpartum Support

in Cedarburg, WI

You knew pregnancy and the transition into parenthood would be hard; you just didn’t know what the “hard” would look like

You don’t have to carry these experiences alone

Pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood are often portrayed as joyful and effortless, but the reality is often anything but—which can leave you wondering if there’s something wrong with you or if maybe you just weren’t cut out for this. You may find yourself questioning whether you’re doing things “right,” worrying constantly about your baby, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your baby during a time when you expected to feel more joyful, bonded, and at ease.

You may find yourself wondering: Is this just part of adjusting to parenthood, or is something more going on? While some emotional changes are a normal part of this transition, postpartum depression, anxiety, and other perinatal mental health concerns are common and treatable.

At Orenda, we believe perinatal mental health is about more than managing symptoms (although that’s an important part of our work, too). It’s about creating space to process your experiences, balance the mental load, reconnect with yourself, and find your footing in this new chapter of life. We provide space for the complicated and often contradictory emotions that can come with becoming a parent—gratitude and overwhelm, excitement and grief, loneliness and overstimulation.

Together, we’ll explore what this new normal looks like for you while helping you reconnect with your own intuition, values, and sense of self. Our team of Perinatal Mental Health Specialists is here to help make the load feel a little lighter.
