Therapy for New Dads

Supporting Parental Mental Health and Factoring in Fathers.

Becoming a dad is an incredible journey, filled with love, excitement, and challenges. At Verve Psychotherapy, we understand that fatherhood comes with its own unique emotional and mental health needs. That’s why we offer specialized therapy for new dads—to help you navigate this transformative phase with confidence, resilience, and clarity.

The Importance of Parental Mental Health

​

While much attention is given to maternal health during the perinatal period, the mental health of fathers is just as critical. New dads often face overwhelming emotions, including anxiety, stress, or even depression, as they adjust to their new role. Societal pressures to "be strong" can make it difficult to express vulnerability, but prioritizing your mental health is essential—for you, your partner, and your growing family.

​

Common Challenges New Dads Face

​​

• Postpartum Depression and Anxiety in Fathers: Yes, dads can experience postpartum depression too. Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and lifestyle adjustments can all contribute.

• Relationship Stress: The transition to parenthood can put strain on even the strongest relationships.

• Work-Life Balance: Balancing the demands of work and family can feel like an impossible task.

• Feelings of Inadequacy: Many new fathers worry about whether they’re doing enough or being “good enough” for their child and partner.
