You’re juggling a lot. The mental load, the pressure, and the constant feeling that you have to keep it all together.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or stuck in survival mode, support is available.

Our therapy team includes clinicians with advanced training in trauma-informed care, perinatal mental health, and ADHD. If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, now is a good time to reach out.

Winter Storm Prep for Breastfeeding Moms ❄️🤱
With a winter storm on the way, now is the time to prepare—especially if you’re breastfeeding or pumping! A little planning can help protect your milk supply and your peace of mind 💙
✔️ Charge electric pumps, phones, and backup batteries
✔️ Have a manual/hand pump available in case of power outages
✔️ Store extra clean pump parts and bottles
✔️ Keep milk storage bags organized and ready
✔️ Stay hydrated and stock easy, nourishing snacks
✔️ Know how long breastmilk stays safe if the power goes out
A hand pump can be a lifesaver during outages—simple, effective, and no electricity required. Every breastfeeding household should have one just in case.
✨ If you feel like you may need breastfeeding support during the storm, please reach out. Our lactation consultants are here for you virtually.
📅 And if you’d prefer to be seen before early next week, we still have in-person availability this Friday.
Stay safe, stay warm, and know you’re supported

There’s something so special about seeing these little ones together 💕 Our support group isn’t just about education. It’s about connection, community, and knowing you’re not alone. These babies are growing alongside parents who show up for one another every week.
