Steady Dads: Coaching Support for Fathers After Baby
Steady Dads is coaching support for fathers navigating postpartum life, relationship changes, and the emotional load of new parenthood.
Most dads don’t wake up wanting to be distant, reactive, or checked out.
They wake up exhausted. Overwhelmed. Unsure what their role is supposed to look like now.
After baby, everything shifts. Sleep. Intimacy. Identity. Responsibility. And many fathers are expected to “just handle it” without space to process the change.
Steady Dads is coaching support for men who want to show up as steady, emotionally safe leaders in their homes — even when life feels loud.
Who This Is For
Who Steady Dads Is For
New dads adjusting to life after baby
Fathers who feel reactive or easily overwhelmed
Men who want to support their partner better but don’t know how
Dads navigating mental load and family responsibility
Partners who’ve been told “I feel like I can’t do anything right”
Fathers who want to grow instead of withdraw
Who This Is Not For
Men unwilling to reflect
Anyone looking for therapy or crisis intervention
Dads who want their partner to “just change”
This is growth work. Practical. Direct. Respectful.
What You’ll Work On
What We Focus On
Emotional Regulation
Learn how to manage stress and frustration without shutting down or snapping.
Mental Load Ownership
Understand what invisible labor actually looks like — and how to share it without being micromanaged.
Communication Repair
Learn what to say when conflict starts to spiral.
Identity Shift
Process the transition from man → father without losing yourself.
Intimacy & Pressure
Understand how connection changes after baby and how to support it instead of pushing against it.
Why Coaching (Not Therapy) Right Now
Many fathers don’t feel like something is “wrong.”
They feel stuck.
Coaching focuses on:
Skill-building
Awareness
Ownership
Practical action
We are not digging through childhood trauma.
We are building steadiness in real time.
If you are in crisis, struggling with depression, or experiencing severe mental health symptoms, therapy is the right next step.
If you want tools and direction — this is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time does this require?
Expect about 2 hours per week including session time and practice.
What if my partner signed me up?
That’s common. You still have to choose to engage. The space is respectful and direct, not critical.
Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching focused on skill development and practical leadership inside your family.
Do you work with dads outside Ohio?
Yes. All sessions are virtual unless otherwise noted.
What if we’re already fighting a lot?
This program can help build steadiness and reduce reactivity. If safety or severe mental health concerns are present, therapy is recommended first.
