As some of you know already, I will be moving to Seattle next month. I’m so excited about living in the Pacific Northwest and really looking forward to creating something of a post-stay-at-home-mom career in social work out there. I will miss NYC, of course, and especially the wonderful moms and neighbors who have generously, thoughtfully, and patiently been my support network here since my first son was born 11 years ago.
Melissa Paschke will be taking over as Brooklyn PPD Support’s head honcho beginning next month. She is an experienced, capable LCSW and also the mother of two boys. To read her bio, please visit: https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_detail.php?profid=293007&sid=1467908434.964_15452&zipcode=11231&search=11231&tr=ResultsName .
Melissa will continue to offer the PMAD support group at Families First in Cobble Hill and she will be running bi-monthly groups beginning in September. Though peer support will continue to be a significant aspect of Melissa’s groups, she will be wearing the professional hat of a clinical social worker, rather than the fellow mama hat I have worn at meetings in the past. As stated in her bio, she also offers therapy to individuals and couples.
If you would like to continue to receive information about BPPDS, please send Melissa an email at melissapyoga@gmail.com. You can also “like” us on Facebook.
