Lauren Puliz specializes in maternal mental health - specifically overwhelm/overstimulation, finding your identity after becoming a mom, and relationship challenges in parenthood (meaning that - yes! - Lauren works with couples too!). Maternal mental health extends far beyond the immediate perinatal/postpartum stages. As long as you are a mom, you are on the journey of uncovering how motherhood impacts every part of your identity. Lauren believes that the relationship you have with yourself is crucial to your health and wellbeing, and to the health of the relationships you have with everyone else in your life. Lauren loves incorporating attachment, DBT, and IFS lenses into her work with clients. Lauren is trained in Brainspotting (Level 1) and has completed the Perinatal Mood Disorders: Components of Care through Postpartum Support International (with plans to complete her PMH-C ASAP).

🦩"I just don't know who I am anymore." 🦩"I don't feel like myself." 🦩"Is this what motherhood is supposed to feel like?" Motherhood is a trip, one that most of us aren't prepared for. From the immediate realities of postpartum to the ongoing evolution of relationship dynamics and emotions, motherhood touches and changes every part of who you are. And many of us are left feeling lonely, isolated, and lost as we try to make sense of identity shift while also caring for our children, partner, careers, and other life responsibilities. You ARE NOT a bad mom for struggling. You are human and you DESERVE help and support to navigate this colossal life change. If you're a millennial mama (or parent couple) residing in California, I'd love to help! Request a FREE 20-minute phone consultation on my website: www.millennialmamatherapy.com
