Postpartum Support Groups
A Judgment Free Space
A warm, judgment free place to feel understood in the season after a new baby arrives.
You Are Not Alone
Becoming a parent, or welcoming a new child into your family, can bring a mix of joy, exhaustion, and unexpected emotion. Our postpartum support groups offer a warm, judgment free space to connect with other parents navigating the same season of life, share what is really going on, and feel less alone in the adjustment.
So much about the postpartum period goes unspoken. The tender moments are easy to talk about; the harder ones - the sleeplessness, the worry, the loss of a familiar routine, the surprise of not feeling the way you expected - are not. In a group, those experiences get named out loud, and hearing another parent say what you have quietly been carrying can be a genuine relief.
Questions New Parents Ask
They are for new parents in any part of the postpartum season, whether you welcomed a baby weeks ago or are still finding your footing months later. Parents come from Sherman Oaks and across the San Fernando Valley, and every kind of feeling is welcome in the room, from joy to exhaustion to uncertainty.
Groups are small and guided by a clinician, with an unhurried, conversational feel. There is no pressure to perform or to share more than you want. Much of the value comes from simply hearing others describe the same season you are living, and realizing how much of what you are feeling is shared.
A group offers connection and shared perspective, and for some parents that is exactly what they need. Others find it helpful alongside one-on-one support. If you would like more private, individual space, our individual therapy can complement group work.
New members are welcome on a rolling basis, so you do not have to wait for a new session to begin. Reach out to the CFDC intake team for a short conversation, and we will help you find the right fit.
