Virtual Couples Therapy
Telehealth therapy for couples and new parents with Lauren,
Licensed therapist in California
You knew your body, your hormones, your routine, and so many things would change with your new baby, but are you realizing that your relationship with your partner is changing with your new baby too?
If you or your partner are looking for support navigating the challenges of new parenthood together, I can help! My virtual therapy sessions for couples and new parents help you strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and navigate the ups and downs of parenthood as a team.
Included in Telehealth Therapy For Couples and New Parents
Our virtual couples therapy sessions provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for you and your partner to explore your relationship dynamics, address conflicts, and strengthen your bond as you navigate the transition to parenthood. The relationship between you and your partner is what builds a solid, strong foundation for your family to grow. Let’s map a plan, talk it out, and help your family thrive through new parenthood together.
Benefits of virtual Couples Therapy Sessions
-
With virtual therapy, you and your partner can attend sessions from the comfort of your own home (or your car, or your backyard, or whatever works best for your schedule and the season you’re in), eliminating the need for travel time and maybe even childcare (depending on your specific circumstances - ask me for more details!).
-
I am a licensed therapist in the state of California, and with virtual therapy, whether you’re in San Diego or San Francisco, we can work together. Let’s fill the West Coast with thriving parents and partners through virtual therapy!
-
Sometimes it’s nice to have a neutral party involved as you talk it out. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, our sessions are a safe and structured environment for you and your partner to express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly and honestly.
-
At the end of the day, parenting is a team sport. Through our virtual therapy sessions, you'll learn effective communication skills to enhance understanding, empathy, and connection in your relationship so you can navigate parenthood with more confidence, grace, and ease.
Could my partner and I benefit from virtual couples therapy for new parents?
Likely, YES! Our virtual couples therapy services are perfect for new parents who are:
Struggling to adjust to the demands of parenthood together while maintaining a healthy, strong relationship.
Experiencing conflicts or disagreements related to parenting styles, household responsibilities, the changes the new baby has brought into their lifestyles, or other issues.
Feeling disconnected or distant from each other, their baby, or others in their lives in this new season of parenthood.
Seeking professional support in navigating changes in intimacy, emotional intimacy, and communication skills.
What exactly can lauren help us with through virtual therapy?
A new baby is a big deal! Maybe your relationship just feels “different” and you need help reconnecting. Or, maybe things are incredibly difficult with the addition of this new very cute - but also very disruptive - new member of your family. We can work together to tackle common challenges new parents may face including:
-
Don’t let miscommunication, exhaustion, or stress lead to resentment with your partner. Together, we can get ahead of these things to strengthen your communication as a couple as you transition into your new roles as parents.
-
Expectations being different in parenthood are so common! Your parents raised each of you differently, which can cause each of you to have different - perhaps even unsaid or unconscious - differences in what you thought parenthood would look like. We can navigate finding those areas, and put together a game plan to align your goals and expectations to be closer together so you’re a cohesive team.
-
You just had a baby and your body is recovering! But, even knowing that, you may be feeling the loss of intimacy with your partner. Or, your partner has expressed that feeling. We can address new ways to find and explore intimacy as new parents in our virtual therapy sessions.
-
When you had your baby, you didn’t realize you maybe needed a list of “who’s doing what?” with your new baby and in your space with this new shift. Negotiating and dividing household responsibilities can be a source of conflict for many couples, particularly as they navigate the challenges of balancing work, childcare, and self-care. Through our virtual therapy sessions, we can work through this to find success in your partnership as spouses and new parents.
