At BCB Therapy in Bend, Oregon, we understand that becoming a mother is both profound and life-changing. Alongside the joy of welcoming a new baby, many moms experience unexpected emotional challenges, including postpartum anxiety. While postpartum depression often receives more attention, anxiety after childbirth is just as common and can feel equally overwhelming.
Our team at BCB Therapy specializes in helping new moms navigate these changes through compassionate, evidence-informed therapy. If you’ve been struggling with racing thoughts, restlessness, or constant worry, know that you’re not alone, and effective postpartum anxiety therapy in Bend is available to help.
What Is Postpartum Anxiety and Why Does It Happen?
Postpartum anxiety is characterized by excessive worry, fear, or nervousness that develops after giving birth. Unlike general “new parent” concerns, this type of anxiety can interfere with sleep, relationships, and day-to-day routines.
Common symptoms include:
- Racing or intrusive thoughts
- Difficulty sleeping even when the baby rests
- Physical tension or panic attacks
- Feeling on edge or irritable
- Trouble concentrating
Several factors can contribute to postpartum anxiety, including hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, the stress of adjustment, or a history of anxiety. Difficult birth experiences and changes in identity may also intensify symptoms. Recognizing these causes is the first step toward healing.
Effective Therapy Options for Postpartum Anxiety in Bend, Oregon
At BCB Therapy, we offer a range of therapy approaches tailored to meet the specific needs of new mothers in Bend.
Individual Therapy
Working one-on-one with a therapist trained in maternal mental health provides a safe space to explore fears and develop coping strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) help moms identify anxious thought patterns and build healthier responses. We may also incorporate biofeedback to help regulate physical symptoms of stress.
Group Therapy
Connecting with other mothers who share similar experiences can reduce isolation and foster a deeper understanding. Group therapy creates a supportive environment where you can learn tools to manage anxiety and celebrate progress together.
Online and Telehealth Sessions
For new mothers with limited childcare or time, online therapy offers flexible access to support. Our secure telehealth sessions make it easier to prioritize mental health from home, even during naptime.
Holistic and Integrative Support
We also integrate mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic practices to help regulate the nervous system. Bend’s wellness community provides a wealth of holistic resources, from postpartum yoga to guided meditation, that complement therapy beautifully.
