Excessive Worry Can Cause Emotional Distress

Postpartum anxiety can trigger:

  • Muscle tension
  • Increased heart rate
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Insomnia
  • Social isolation
  • Panic attacks

Experiencing excessive fear or worry following childbirth can place strain on relationships, especially the mother-child bond. Those who struggle with depression or other mental health concerns may notice an increase in postpartum concerns.

Experiencing mental health concerns keeps many women from living their best lives. Postpartum anxiety has many layers, preventing many women from understanding the root cause of their emotions.

JuneDay Therapy Can Help You Gain Clarity

Our therapists provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere for women experiencing postpartum anxiety. We use a variety of therapy methods that address your unique concerns. You don’t have to recover from emotional distress on your own because we are here to help.

Who We Are

Why Choose JuneDay Therapy

Do you remember the pure spirit you embodied at 6 years old? Over time, life’s challenges can distance you from the beautiful enthusiasm, excitement, and energy you felt for living.

When this happens, many of us develop defense mechanisms – be it anger, striving for perfection, or other distractions – as a way to cope with past traumas, the aftermath of loss, or the weight of having to mask your true identity.

At JuneDay Therapy, we believe you don’t have to feel alone on this journey; you don’t have to cover up who you are or diminish your light. We will use our experience and expertise to help you rediscover the inherent value and lovability of your true self.

Our mission is to guide you towards releasing those burdens, approaching your struggles with understanding rather than blame, and helping you reconnect with the inner person you know is striving to shine.
