NICU Stays

Having a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for days, weeks, or months on end can be scary, exhausting, and overwhelming.

You May Feel

distressed at being apart from your baby
uncertain about when or how your baby will come home
drained and exhausted from commuting to and from the hospital
guilty for not spending enough time with your baby
torn between being there for your baby and caring for other children or responsibilities at home
jealous of others who do not have to deal with medical complexities

How I Can Help

In individual therapy, we can explore the fear, guilt, and helplessness of your baby’s NICU stay, while making space for your own emotional needs. Couples therapy can help you share what each of you has been carrying and feel more supported by one another.
