Online Postpartum & Birth Trauma Therapy for Dads and Couples in Colorado
Specialized, trauma informed support for new fathers and couples — accessible anywhere in the Centennial State.
Premium, Specialized Care Without the Front Range Traffic
Between sleepless nights, feeding schedules, and returning to work, the last thing a new parent needs is to battle I-25 traffic or hunt for parking just to see a specialist. Specialized care for paternal postpartum depression, birth trauma, and relational shifts after having a baby does not need to depend on your proximity to an office with The Held and Healed Club.
Whether you are navigating the high-pressure suburban pace of Highlands Ranch, balancing life in Denver, or living in a more remote mountain community, secure telehealth brings modern, trauma-informed therapy directly into your home or office space.
Why Online Therapy Works for Expanding Families
Reduced Childcare Hurdles: Telehealth therapy removes the mental load and common barrier to receiving support of coordinating childcare.
Seamless Scheduling for Couples: Finding a time when two busy parents can leave the house together at times feels like an impossible feat especially early on in their child’s life. Telehealth allows couples to log on from the same couch or even from two different locations.
A Secure, Comfortable Environments: Meet through a secure, confidential, HIPAA-compliant video platform from your home. Process difficult birth stories or relationship tension from the comfort and privacy of your own controlled space during nap time.
Focused Care for the Postpartum Transition
Paternal and perinatal mental health challenges can manifest as intense anxiety, anger, irritability, hyper-vigilance, or a deep sense of disconnect. I specialize in helping Colorado individuals and partnerships navigate:
Dads in Therapy:
Processing paternal postpartum depression, identity shifts, and the pressure to "hold it all together."
Birth Trauma Processing:
Utilizing virtual EMDR and somatic techniques to gently take the painful edge off overwhelming birth stories or neonatal medical trauma. Helping both mothers and fathers gently process overwhelming birth stories and medical trauma.
Couples Counseling:
Restoring communication and intimacy when the mental load of a new baby leaves you feeling like roommates or outsiders to each other. Navigate the “mental load” of new parenthood and re-establish deep intimacy.
Meet Preston
I’m a dad. I know what it’s like. I understand the quick turn arounds to work after a sleepless night with a new born. I know the weight of the pressure to continue to provide and to deal with your emotions on your own all while missing the version of yourself and your relationship with your partner you once had.
Anyone who has navigated the world of birth and parenthood would agree that the resources for dads are few and far between. I am looking to change that.
Despite the pressure around you, if there is any part of you that feels ready to open yourself to a new way of living, parenthood, and partnership that includes no longer carrying the weight of the world on your own, then reach out today for a consultation.
