SUPPORT GROUP
There’s no pressure to know exactly what kind of perinatal & parenting support you need.
If a support group or workshop feels like a maybe, start by getting to know us.
Take a moment to explore our story & find out who we are. Maybe you'll walk away learning something, or maybe you'll decide therapy is a good fit for you.
We’re committed to making therapy for new parents accessible. All of our sessions are held virtually to reduce barriers like transportation, childcare, finances, location, & mobility needs. If there’s anything we can do to better support your access to care (communication preferences, tech accommodations, website adjustments, etc), please let us know at admin@holdingnewtherapy.com.
