I work with adults navigating ADHD, life transitions, and pregnancy, perinatal, and postpartum experiences using a neurodiversity-affirming approach.
At this point in your life, you may feel mentally overextended—carrying too many threads at once while also feeling overstimulated or depleted by the pace of daily life. You might know what you want to change, yet feel unsure where to begin, especially when urgency and exhaustion coexist. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of the noise, and find steadier footing without pressure to push through or perform.
For many neurodivergent people, life feels like a constant pull between needing something solid to hold onto and needing space to move with change. Tether & Tide Counseling is built around holding both.

If you’re functioning well on the outside but struggling internally—overthinking, self-criticism, anxiety, or a persistent sense that you’re “too much” or “not enough”—therapy can help you feel steadier and more like yourself again. Many professionals are highly capable individuals who are used to solving problems, staying composed, and carrying responsibility. But inside, they may feel depleted, disconnected, stuck in relentless self-monitoring, or unsure how to slow down without falling behind. If you’re tired of “powering through” or feeling like rest must be earned, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to untangle it by yourself.

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.
