About Mommy Groove Therapy and Parent Coaching
Mommy Groove Therapy and Parent Coaching helps moms and dads find balance
and joy through therapy and/or parent coaching. Olivia Bergeron, LCSW is a
psychotherapist and parent coach who founded Mommy Groove Therapy &
Parent Coaching to help parents navigate the huge changes that come with
having a child. Whether you're experiencing a sense of overwhelm, stress and
anxiety during or after having a baby, or you've run out of ideas about how
to manage your toddler's (or big kid's!) tantrums, Olivia works with you to
create lasting change. She does this by providing clients with therapy or
coaching or a hybrid of both.
What I Wish I Had Known
I wish that I knew to focus less on the day of birth-- which is clearly
important!--and much more on what comes next. For your postpartum time, line
up double the help you think you'll need. I advise folks to prepare as if
you were having twins! If you are having twins, then prep for triplets!
Preparing in advance makes it so much easier to know who to turn to when
life goes sideways. Life as a new parent will inevitably not go according to
plan. Scrambling to find a lactation counselor, a therapist, a physical
therapist, etc. when you are sleep deprived and desperate is not ideal and
just adds to a stressful situation. Make some calls ahead of time to
interview potential help. Find practitioners with whom you feel a rapport.
And then reach out if need be.
