When Should Moms Consider Therapy?

Mommy blogs can provide community and a sense of understanding, but sometimes mothers experience sadness they can’t shake, difficulty raising their children, or simply need someone to talk to. A professional mental healthcare provider can help with each of these. A licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) can help you navigate familial, individual, and even couples issues that arise. You can also find a therapist specializing in postpartum issues or child psychology if this pertains to what you’re experiencing. If this is you or someone you know, take a look at some of the best online therapy options, where a therapist can work with you from wherever you are, or find a therapist near you with an online therapist directory.
