"Parenthood Psychology Practice is a mental health group focused on the needs of new and expectant parents, but unlike other practices, its office is your home. Local New York sessions can take place on a walk around the block or over your kitchen table; remote patients dial-up on Skype in the comfort of their own living rooms (and pajamas)."

"Services include Preemie Support, Single Crisis Visit, access to psychiatrists, Lactation Consultation, and a comprehensive Post-Natal Package, and this honestly sounds like exactly the kind of organization that I would have reached out to had I known it existed. In any case, it's nice to know that this kind of support is out there, if you need it."

Stroller Traffic

"Goletka and Strongin schedule appointments at your apartment, in the hospital waiting room (if you have a preemie), or even during a walk around the block if that's what's most convenient for you..."

"Nobody can fully prepare a couple for the arrival of their first child. Relationships are often put to the test during sleepless nights, numerous visits from in-laws and an unpredictable schedule. However, the way in which a couple begins to co-parent in the first few months can often predict the role that each will take for years to come."

MommyBites

"The shift from being pregnant to becoming a mother happens in a matter of seconds and yet, few people emphasize the importance of preparing new mothers for this change. Sleep deprivation, 30 pounds of unwanted weight, cracked nipples, and a screaming baby make it nearly impossible to filter and organize one's thoughts in the days, weeks and months after giving birth."

MommyBites

"The new role of motherhood can be an overwhelming transition. However, there are ways to become more self-aware and accepting of this change prior to it happening."
