1 in 5 birthing people suffer from postpartum depression
Giving birth and becoming a parent is one of life’s most profound transitions and quite routinely it comes with some serious challenges. Postpartum mood disorders occur anytime after an individual gives birth for up to 2 years after birth (and honestly beyond). I believe a person can be in process from an experience well after this time frame and healing is available at anytime along that journey.
If you are experiencing depression, racing or intrusive thoughts, insurmountable fear, panic, obsessions or compulsions, or even delusions or hallucinations - this could be NORMAL within the postpartum experience. Professional counseling will provide a safe and compassionate space to explore these experiences, understand their underlying causes, and learn healthy coping strategies that can restore emotional balance and bring you back into connection with yourself and your baby!
Prenatal
Therapy
-
Therapy during this period of time looks like a nonjudgmental and safe space to:
Ask hard questions: to become a parent or not?
Process the Experience: Navigate the insane and miraculous physical and emotional changes of pregnancy, as well as the stress or uncertainty that can accompany it.
Manage Grief and Loss: Infertility can be detrimental to a person and their family. Chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), and failed IVF cycles are completely heartbreaking. These traumatic experiences cause emotional and psychological losses. Support to grieve, reconnect to yourself and your partner, are crucial for repair and moving forward.
Explore Identity: Address concerns related to body image, the shift in personal identity (sayonara self, hello parent-self!), and the preparation for the practical and emotional demands of parenthood.
Build Resilience: For those with a history of trauma, addiction, or mental health challenges, prenatal therapy promotes stability and develops coping skills throughout the entire perinatal process.
"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers—strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength." — Barbara Katz Rothman
Ketamine-Assisted
Psychotherapy
-
Sometimes, traditional talk therapy hits a wall, and we need a different way to access the deeper parts of our story. KAP is a specialized tool for when you’re feeling treatment-resistant or just plain exhausted by the same negative patterns. Together with medical providers, I use ketamine to help you lower your guard and process the heavy stuff that usually feels too loud to touch. It’s guided, it’s safe, and it’s designed to create real room for healing.
Group
Psychotherapy
-
Healing doesn’t have to be a solo mission. Group therapy is a dynamic environment for you to practice being heard while hearing others—which is becoming harder to do in the present socio-political climate. Group work is way more than just 'coping strategies'—although it’s nice to work on interpersonal skills like communication, listening, and emotion regulation—it’s about learning to stay connected to yourself while being in relationship to another. It’s a place to explore family dynamics and old patterns, try new ways of relating, and grow!
