Helping Women Navigate Motherhood by Dr. Andrea Tesher

Dr. Andrea Tesher, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist at Lukin Center for Psychotherapy, specializing in the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and has particular interest in working with young mothers and helping them navigate their new role.

She facilitates Moms With Anxiety Group, a small, confidential, and supportive group that meets in Ridgewood to explore and discuss skills to cope with anxiety or stress related to being a mother and balancing all that comes our way.

This week, Dr. Tesher is highlighting a new book to support moms: Mom Brain by Dr. Ilyse Dobrow DiMarco.

In Mom Brain, clinical psychologist Dr. Ilyse Dobrow DiMarco shares evidence-based strategies for helping moms manage the many challenges of new motherhood, including emotional upheaval, identity changes, anxiety, social media comparison-making, and relationship shifts.

The book features examples drawn from her clinical work and her own experiences as a mother. She uses humor and pop culture references whenever possible (she likes to say that the book is light on clinical jargon, heavy on Real Housewives references).

Mom Brain is relatable, honest and funny - perfect for ALL moms!
