INDIVIDUAL THERAPY & MOMS GROUPS IN CONNECTICUT

We provide support groups and individual therapy for new and expecting moms. Because motherhood is hard, but you’re not meant to go through it alone.

Reimagining Wellness for Moms and Moms-To-Be

I’m on a mission to change the way mothers receive care and support before and after giving birth. Here we recognize that the birth of a baby is also the birth of a mother, and you deserve to put the focus on you even in the midst of raising little ones. 

If you’ve landed here wondering if you’re the only one who feels like she doesn’t have it all together, let this be a comfort to you: you are not. 

I’m here to connect you with other women who are deep in the trenches of their motherhood journey so you can feel bolstered and cared for as you learn to prioritize yourself–not just your family.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and isolated in your motherhood journey,

but you don’t know what to do or how to ask for help,

which only leaves you feeling more alone and disconnected to who you were before you became a mom.

Down with the Mom-Guilt cycle. You deserve better, and I’m here to help.

Moms Support Groups

Mom/Me Be Well offers moms support groups that normalize the highs and lows of motherhood to give you hope for the road ahead. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, these groups are here to support you in various seasons of your motherhood journey. 

Our moms groups provide a safe, judgment-free space to hear from other moms in very similar throes of motherhood. A place for moms to openly share their joys, worries, successes, and challenges with other moms.

Moms walk away from the group feeling validated in their feelings and connected to other moms sharing a similar experience. Most importantly, you’ll leave feeling emotionally resourced, hopeful, and ready to try new solutions.

Meet Melissa

Hi! I’m Melissa and I am thrilled that you have landed here. I am a mom to three and a Connecticut psychotherapist specializing in perinatal mental health therapy. I’m passionate about providing care for the women who constantly take care of everyone else, and I collaborate with moms in both individual and group settings.

My mission is to ensure that moms are supported from the start of pregnancy, well into their motherhood journey. I offer individual therapy as well as virtual support groups here in Connecticut. I believe that moms need and deserve better access to maternal mental health support, and Mom/Me Be Well serves to do just that.

  • "This moms group has really allowed me to feel connected. While I have mom friends who provide me advice and guidance, there is something to be said about going through it with moms who you don't know to feel even more validated in your feelings, thoughts and experiences.

    I am really enjoying everyone being able to share in an intimate and safe space - I think the group size allows that to happen so while I was a bit skeptical on the low number of moms, it is working out great.”
