(S1E2) Beyond Motherhood ft. Cassie Sabol, LMHC

Maternal mental health matters, and no mother should have to navigate pregnancy or postpartum challenges alone. In this episode of Cafecito with Dr. T , Dr. Yadira Torres, a licensed psychologist and Cassie Sabol, LMHC, a licensed mental health therapist have an honest conversation about recognizing postpartum difficulties, challenging the expectation that mothers should always feel happy, and understanding how families can provide meaningful support. We also discuss when to seek professional help, how to create a postpartum wellness plan, and why asking for support is an act of strength, not a sign of failure. Caring for the mother’s mental health supports the well-being of the baby and the entire family. Grab your cafecito and join this important conversation.
