Couples Counseling After Baby in Southwest Austin & Online Across Texas and Florida

​

A new baby brings a lot of love, and usually a lot less sleep, patience, and time for each other. If you and your partner feel more like tired roommates than a team, or every conversation turns into tension, you’re not the only ones. Many couples feel this way after a baby arrives, and it doesn’t have to stay this way.

​

I’m Phil Coleman, LPC, a licensed therapist in Texas and Florida with an office in Southwest Austin. I specialize in couples counseling for new and expecting parents, helping partners through the transition to parenthood. The postpartum season can strain even strong relationships. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s getting in the way, and help you find your way back to each other.

​

Couples therapy after baby can help with:

• Communication breakdowns and recurring arguments

• Feeling disconnected, unseen, or like roommates

• Rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy after baby

• Dividing the mental load and household responsibilities more fairly

• Navigating changing roles, expectations, and family dynamics

• Rebuilding trust and feeling like a team again

​

Support for Dads, Too

I also work individually with new and expecting fathers. Welcome to the Dad Life Circus, where providing, supporting, and saying the right thing can feel like an impossible juggling act. Paternal postpartum depression and anxiety are more common than most people realize. Therapy gives dads a grounded space to work through stress, identity shifts, and the pressure to hold it all together.

In-Person and Online Therapy Options

• In-person couples counseling in Dripping Springs: Sessions in our office, a short drive from Austin, Bee Cave, Wimberley, and the greater Hill Country.

• Telehealth across Texas and Florida: Secure virtual sessions from home, which helps when childcare is hard to line up. 

​

Becoming parents doesn’t mean losing each other. When you’re ready, I’d be glad to help you feel more connected, supported, and on the same team in this next chapter.
