I am Rebekah Shackney, and I am a licensed psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey and the mother of a three year old.
Three years ago, as I waited for my son’s birth visions of rocking my baby in the nursery wearing a beautiful nightgown with bluebirds singing at the window danced in my head. I heard from friends that new motherhood was difficult, but like many women before me I didn’t take the warnings seriously. How hard could it be to care for my beautiful baby boy?
Well let me tell you, it was harder than I ever could have imagined. The most important thing I realized is I couldn’t do it alone. Every new mother needs support.
As a therapist, I have helped many women struggling with the issues related to new motherhood. Contact me, 917-721-2257, rebekah@rebekahshackney.com, and lets get through it together.
