The postpartum period can be one of the biggest transitions a person can experience.

You were likely prepared for some tiredness and adjustment after the baby arrived. Instead you may be feeling profound emotional complexity, this could include depression, anxiety, rage, grief, disconnection, and/or a disorienting loss of identity. Because none of that fits the picture of what it is supposed to look like, people often carry it silently and alone.

You are not a bad parent. You are a person going through something enormous, with very little support for the parts that are actually hard.

Do any of these feel familiar?

These experiences are more common than most people know. And they are treatable. You do not have to wait until things get worse before reaching out.

You feel sad, empty, or disconnected in a way you did not expect
Anxiety is constant and you cannot seem to turn it off
You feel like you are not bonding with your baby the way you thought you would
Your birth experience was traumatic and it is still with you
You feel like you have lost yourself and are not sure who you are anymore
You feel rage or resentment that scares you or that you cannot admit to anyone
You are functioning on the outside but falling apart on the inside

How postpartum therapy works.

We start where you are. You do not need to have it figured out before you reach out.

We work with what is present, whether that is depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts/OCD, identity loss, or the complicated feelings that do not have easy names.

We use approaches that fit what you need, maybe we work with IFS for identity shifts, ACT and somatic work for anxiety and nervous system regulation and EMDR where it may fit.

Over time our goal is to help you start to feel more grounded, more present, and more like you. The hope is not just to cope better. It is to actually feel better.

Questions people ask us about postpartum therapy.

How long after birth can I access postpartum therapy?

There is no time limit. Postpartum struggles can show up immediately after birth, months or even more than a year later.

I am worried about what it means that I need therapy after having a baby.

It means you are human and going through something hard. Needing support during the postpartum period is not a sign that you are failing at parenthood. It is a sign that you are paying attention to what you actually need. Most people who come to postpartum therapy wish they had come sooner.

Can my partner access therapy too?

Yes. The postpartum period affects partners as well. We work with partners, and some of us with couples, navigating the relational challenges of new parenthood, including communication shifts, role changes, and the impact of a difficult postpartum experience on the relationship.

You deserve support through this.

Reaching out is the hardest step. Once you do, we will take it from there.
