Group Therapy for New Moms
The early months after birth can feel intense in ways no one prepared you for. Sleep is broken. Your body is recovering. Your brain is running hot. Even with a supportive partner or family nearby, mothers can feel isolated, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves.
The Postpartum Den offers weekly clinical group therapy for mothers in Tennessee. Led by licensed perinatal-trained clinicians, they are built for new moms who want weekly support and structure during life with a new baby and tools that make the weeks feel more manageable.
Our Difference
Our groups are run by perinatal clinicians offering clinical support in a group setting, different from social mom groups or support groups that are often peer led and non-clinical. Groups are facilitated by licensed therapists specializing in postpartum mental wellness. Group therapy reduces isolation and adds momentum. You learn strategies in real time, hear what’s working for others, and leave each group with tools to use the same day. The consistent support helps you get unstuck, stay accountable, and make progress between sessions.
What We Work On
Calming worry and anxious moments with simple tools you can use in real time
Lifting low mood with small routines that are doable with a baby
Navigating the stress of the infant stage: nights, routines, soothing, and settling
Strengthening support at home with boundaries, communication, and clearer asks
Managing overwhelm and irritability, including what to do when your fuse is short
Integrative practices that help your body catch up with what you’ve been carrying, like breathwork, grounding, and gentle movement
