perinatal / Postpartum Depression & Anxiety Therapy
Becoming a new mother is a journey that can be both full of joy and deeply overwhelming. Whether you are a pregnant woman looking toward the future with a mix of excitement and worry, a new mom struggling with a sense of self, adjusting to new life demands, or facing feelings of depression or anxiety, or maybe a mom whose labor did not go as planned, please know that you are not alone! Adjusting to new life challenges, whether it’s hormonal imbalance, sleep deprivation, changes in your body, processing birth trauma, or the pressure in your partnership or marriage, may disrupt your daily life and add stress to an already challenging time.
Sometimes, these feelings ease with time, as you settle into your new routine. But other times, they may stay for a little longer, disrupting your daily life and adding stress to an already heavy load. It’s okay to feel uncertain, sad, or overwhelmed—reaching out for support is a courageous and significant step in caring for yourself and your growing family.
Signs you Might Be Struggling
Adjusting to motherhood is not always intuitive or joyful. For many moms, this period includes emotional distress that goes beyond typical “baby blues.” Sometimes you may feel:
- Ongoing sadness, low mood, or frequent tearfulness
- Excessive worry or difficulty quieting anxious thoughts
- Racing or intrusive thoughts that feel distressing or out of character
- Difficulty sleeping, even when your baby is sleeping
- Irritability, restlessness, or feeling constantly on edge
- Persistent guilt, shame, or self-doubt
- Feeling disconnected from your baby, partner, or yourself
- Replaying aspects of your birth or feeling unsettled since delivery
How we can help
Symptoms of postpartum depression & postpartum anxiety are common and highly treatable with appropriate support. Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness — it is a proactive step toward healing and restoring your balance.
You might be wondering if what you are experiencing is “serious enough” for therapy. Many women delay seeking help because they minimize their own struggles, feel embarrassed for not “having it all” figured out, or simply don’t know where to look for help.
Remember that no matter what your story is, we are here to offer you gentle, collaborative, and personalized help that you deserve. You are not alone and you don’t have to keep pushing through on your own!
What To Expect:
Our therapy space is where you don’t have to sugarcoat how you are really feeling or explain yourself a hundred times. You can say the messy, scary, ” I don’t know if this is normal” thoughts out loud – and know they’ll be met with understanding, not judgment.
Together , we will make room for everything you are carrying: the shifts in motherhood, your relationship, your sense of self as a woman. This is a place where you get to exhale. Where nothing you feel is “too much”, and you don’t have to pretend to be okay.
