Therapy for New Dads Adjusting to Fatherhood & for Anxious Mothers
with Alia Perr, Clinical Therapist in Cape Girardeau and across Missouri
Meet Alia Perr, LCSW:
A Highly-Skilled Therapist for New Dads and Anxious Women
Contracted with Sunrise Therapy Services, LLC
Maybe you’re a dad of young children who wants to show up better but keeps showing up as the guy who jumps to fixing instead of listening… the dad who loves his children immensely but gets frustrated with them easily…
Maybe you and your partner are arguing more, feeling disconnected, or stuck in the same conversations that go nowhere.
Or maybe you’re a mom who feels anxious, on edge, and overwhelmed especially when your husband keeps missing the point or struggles to accept your feedback without becoming defensive.
-
Alia specializes in working with:
New Dads & Men’s Mental Health Issues
Highly Anxious Women
Postpartum Anxiety in New Moms
Couples Struggling with the Transition into Parenthood
-
For dads, therapy with Alia looks like learning how to be more patient, more present, and more connected to your kids and partner without losing your temper, shutting down, or blaming someone else for your reactions
For couples, it looks like more respect even when you disagree, more “how can I help?” and less “well if you would have just…” conversations.
For moms, it looks like safely knowing how to slow down, trusting your own judgement again (or maybe for the first time ever), and getting to love your sweet babies as big as you possibly can!
We fully believe that Alia is someone that you want in your corner when you are going through some very tough stuff.
-
Using the gold-standard for couples therapy (the Gottman Method), Alia helps couples stop the constant misfires and start communicating in a way that doesn’t put new cuts into recent wounds.
She’s known for being direct, honest, and blunt. We jokingly called the “bro therapist” because she’s especially skilled at calling men out in a way that doesn’t lead to avoidance and defensiveness.
She is the best at helping new dads move out of shutdown, defensiveness, or “fix-it mode” and into actually listening, understanding, and showing up.
Alia also integrates EMDR, a gold-standard trauma therapy, for clients who feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense or reactions that feel bigger than the moment.
EMDR therapy digs right into the “not good enough” thinking patterns often found in anxious women and new mothers.
