Services and what to expect
Each is one-on-one, fifty minutes, in person or by video. Dr. Newsome sets the pace with you.
Anxiety and overwhelm
For parents whose mind won't quiet down. Sessions mix talking with practice: noticing where worry shows up in the body and trying ways to settle it between visits.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Mindfulness-based practices
Not medication or medical care
No set number of sessions
Grief and loss
For a pregnancy lost, a birth that didn't go as hoped, or a death close to the baby's arrival. Sessions leave room for what you feel without steering you toward feeling differently.
Meaning-making and remembrance work
Psychodynamic therapy
Not a replacement for a support group, though it can sit beside one
No set number of sessions
Low mood and exhaustion
For parents who feel flat, weighed down or far from themselves. Sessions look at what keeps you stuck and try small, doable steps.
Behavioral activation
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Not a substitute for seeing your doctor or midwife about your mood
No set number of sessions
Your relationship
For parents working out who does what, who sleeps and who feels seen. Sessions are for you, and a partner may join some of them if you both want that.
Attachment-informed conversation
Communication practice
Not couples therapy; partners can have sessions of their own
No set number of sessions
Who you are now
For parents facing leave, a return to work, a changed body or a new sense of self. Sessions give the in-between a place to be talked about.
Psychodynamic therapy
Values-based reflection
Not career coaching
No set number of sessions
Three questions about services
Can I bring my baby?
Yes. Feeding or soothing a baby during a session is fine, and many parents come with the baby for the first weeks.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. Dr. Newsome is a psychologist. If medication might help, she can talk with you about whom to ask, such as your doctor or midwife.
How do I know which service fits?
You don't have to. Most parents bring a mix of these, and we begin wherever feels most pressing. You can change course at any time.
