Protecting Your Own Mental Health as a Sleep Consultant with Elizabeth Baron

Becoming a Sleep Consultant with Jayne Havens

Elizabeth Baron is a NY State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University’s Teachers College. Her primary clinical focus is maternal mental health – from preconception and pregnancy, through postpartum and parenting. Previously, she worked as a therapist at The Motherhood Center (TMC) of New York, where she developed her expertise in treating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. While at The Motherhood Center, she also served as the Community Partnerships lead and worked to educate new and expecting mothers and clinical providers on the importance of maternal mental health. Today she provides individual therapy in her private practice, moderates several support groups, and offers webinars and educational talks to several different brands across the parenting space. Deeply committed to destigmatizing maternal mental health issues, she is passionate about helping women through all stages of motherhood.

On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Podcast Elizabeth and I discussed:
- How we as sleep consultants can work to release some of the emotional load that we carry on behalf of our clients
- That humanizing the experience of sleep and mothering in a more realistic frame for life leads to a more positive and successful experience for both parents and sleep consultants
- The need for boundaries in our businesses. And that it’s ok to give ourselves grace if it feels difficult to set those boundaries in the very beginning. It takes time!
