Pregnancy and parenthood is no joke. Many times couples get married and naturally feel their next step is to start a family. Often this occurs without them really thinking about the long-term affects this will have on them as an individual or as a couple. Feelings of anxiety and depression arise and often they do not know where to turn.
Having a place for parents to both educate themselves prior to the arrival of children, cope if there is difficulty achieving the goal of becoming parents, grieve if there is an unexpected outcome during delivery or for any other reason that they may need is vital.
Births, Babies and Beyond is a new practice partnered with Abrams Psychological Services, dedicated to helping new and experienced parents on their journey of parenthood. Located in Tinton Falls, it is dedicated to all aspects of psychological wellness in the ante and postpartum population.
