We believe no mother or parent should feel alone during their transition into or during their parenthood journey. reBlossom is so happy to offer a free, peer support program to help connect new parents, during their pregnancies and postpartum journeys, with other experienced parents.
In Greek "thera" means healer, our TheraParents are peers with basic training on postpartum mental health, strategies & parenting resources. You will be matched up with one TheraMama or TheraPapa, who will offer check-ins throughout pregnancy (when applicable) and the postpartum period up to the 18th month of a child’s life in the form of texts, emails, phone calls, video chats, or safe in-person visits.
We know that postpartum depression and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including anxiety, OCD & PTSD are more common than we know, occur anytime within the first postpartum year or beyond, and affect both mothers and fathers. No longer a new mama or papa? No problem! We know that postpartum mental health issues may arise after subsequent births, traumas, or changing life experiences. These services are available to anyone struggling during their "postpartum."
TheraMamas and TheraPapas are not professionals, but are mothers & fathers who offer peer support. They should not be used instead of professional support or a doctor. Please see our Therapy page if you would like to seek professional support.
If you are interested in being matched up with a TheraMama or TheraPapa please fill out the form below.
We hope to be in touch within 2-3 days.

Carly Ornstein moved with her family to Athens in 2020 where she works from home as a public health consultant. A Baltimore native, she enjoys exploring the Southeast and soaking up all that Athens has to offer. She proudly lives in Newtown with her husband, two small children, and rescue terrier Myrtle Joan Rivers. Carly had her first child in Michigan and second in Missouri (academic wife life), and struggled with the lack of a village, which is why she is passionate about Athens Parent Wellbeing's work. In her free time, Carly likes to stay active, stare at the wall and obsessively research her genealogy.Â
Hi! I’m Tiffani. My husband, Josh, and I have one daughter, Sophia. We’re regulars at reBlossom play groups and events, so you may have seen us around! I am an instructor at Kennesaw State University and a PhD candidate at Texas Tech University. I do all my work and school things remotely from home during naps and night times so that my days are free to spend doing mom things and setting up play dates with our friends. In my free me-time, I like to crochet or play video games.
