Therapy for Expectant Dads
Empowering Fathers From Dude to Dad.
Becoming a father is a life-changing experience, filled with anticipation, excitement, and sometimes uncertainty. At Verve Psychotherapy, we recognize that the emotional well-being of expectant dads matters just as much as that of their partners. Our specialized therapy for expectant dads provides the support and guidance you need to approach fatherhood with confidence, resilience, and emotional balance.
​
The Emotional Journey of Expectant Fatherhood
While society often focuses on mothers during pregnancy, fathers also experience profound emotional changes and challenges as they prepare for their new role. Expectant dads may feel pressure to be the "rock" for their partner while navigating their own fears, questions, and adjustments.
Common Challenges Expectant Dads Face
​​
-
Fear and Anxiety: Concerns about being a good parent, financial responsibilities, and supporting a growing family.
-
Relationship Shifts: Changes in communication and intimacy during pregnancy can create tension.
-
Work-Life Balance Worries: Juggling career responsibilities while preparing for fatherhood.
-
Identity Changes: Transitioning from individual life to embracing the responsibilities of fatherhood.

Perinatal Mood Concerns: Expectant dads can also experience mood changes, anxiety, or depressive symptoms during pregnancy.
