Were you praised for being the good one growing up? Do you feel like you did everything right in your life but still feel unfulfilled/unsettled? Have you experienced trauma, or are noticing that you are more and more anxious throughout the day? Perhaps you are more irritable or disengaged at work or during social activities. Maybe you are noticing you spend a lot of the evenings melting into the couch or doom scrolling. You may also notice "one little thing" derails your whole day.

Postpartum is where I do my deepest work.
Something shifts between two people when life gets hard. Before the wedding, in the first year of marriage, or when a baby arrives and the person you built everything with feels just out of reach. That quiet ache of "I miss us" is usually what brings couples in. Not the big blow-up. Just the slow distance neither of you knows how to name.
Whether you're preparing for marriage, going through the early years or in the thick of new parenthood, we work on what's actually happening between you, not just the surface argument.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
