Group Therapy
New & Expecting Moms

weekly DBT-informed virtual skills group for navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting

with Dr. Michelle Litwer, Psy.D., PMH-C

Rooted & Resilient:
From Baby Bump to Baby Years

a group for:

  • Expecting moms and birthing parents

  • Postpartum parents adjusting to a new reality

  • Parents of children under five looking for emotional tools and support

Whether you’re preparing for birth or deep in toddler tantrums, this group offers practical skills for the moments that feel too big to handle.

What you'll learn:

I help new and expecting parents find calm, clarity, and confidence - especially when the baby books don’t cover sleepless nights, emotional overload, or the quiet moments you question everything.

  • Distress Tolerance – For the meltdowns, the sleepless nights, and the overstimulation. We’ll build strategies for calming your body, self-soothing, and getting through hard moments without spiraling.

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness – Say what you need, ask for help without guilt, and set boundaries that actually stick.

  • Emotion Regulation – Understand your emotional waves, learn how to ride them (not drown in them), and create habits that bring more balance to your everyday life.

  • Mindfulness – Stay grounded in the chaos. Learn to slow down, respond intentionally, and stay present even when everything around you is moving fast.
