Postpartum Depression Is Common — and Treatable
The weeks and months after having a baby are often described as joyful and fulfilling. But for many parents, this period is marked by sadness, numbness, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection that doesn’t go away. If you’re struggling emotionally after giving birth, you’re not broken — you may be experiencing postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. Therapy can help you understand what you’re feeling, make sense of the changes you’re going through, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
What Postpartum Depression Can Feel Like
Postpartum depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people feel deeply sad or tearful. Others feel irritable, overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected from their baby or partner. You might feel like you’re “going through the motions” or constantly wondering why this feels so much harder than you expected.
You may notice:
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Anxiety or intrusive worries about your baby or your ability to parent
Guilt, shame, or harsh self-criticism
Feeling detached or emotionally flat
Difficulty sleeping or resting, even when given the chance
A sense of grief for the version of yourself or life you had before
These experiences can be frightening and isolating — especially when everyone around you assumes you should be happy.
Postpartum Depression Is More Than the “Baby Blues”
Many new parents experience mood swings, tearfulness, or emotional sensitivity in the first couple of weeks after birth. When symptoms persist, intensify, or interfere with daily functioning, postpartum depression may be present.
Postpartum depression is not a personal failure. It’s influenced by hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, identity changes, past mental health experiences, birth trauma, infertility, and the enormous emotional weight of becoming responsible for another human being.

Postpartum Depression After Infertility or IVF
For individuals who worked hard to become parents, postpartum depression can carry extra layers of confusion or guilt. You may feel pressure to be grateful or fear that struggling emotionally means something is wrong with you.
Postpartum depression after infertility or IVF is real and valid. The transition to parenthood can stir grief, trauma, exhaustion, and identity shifts — even when the baby is deeply wanted. Therapy can help hold these complexities with care.
Step 1: Tune Into Your Body
It’s easy to get lost in the chaos of this journey and forget what your body truly needs. We’ll gently check in on how you’re caring for yourself—rest, nourishment, movement, and support—so you can reconnect with your body and treat it with the care it deserves.
Step 2: Explore Your Unique Journey
I want to understand your pregnancy or postpartum experience—how it’s been emotionally and mentally, and the challenges you’ve faced. Together, we’ll explore your family dreams, values, and how your past shapes your parenting. Your past doesn’t dictate your future.
Step 3: Heal and Release
Together, we’ll gently explore any fears, anxieties, or inner narratives that are standing in the way of you feeling grounded and confident. You deserve to feel empowered, and I’m here to help you break through those barriers so you can move forward with clarity
Step 4 - Reclaim Your Power
You are stronger than you know. We’ll focus on reconnecting with your inner strength and resilience—especially when things feel overwhelming. This is about stepping into your role as a parent with confidence, trusting yourself, and owning the power you already carry.
Step 5: Honor Your Needs
Parenthood can be overwhelming and finding balance can seem impossible. This is a love like you have never known and I will help your body, brain, and heart make sense of it. Prioritizing you doesn’t make you any less of a parent—it makes you stronger for your family.
How Therapy Helps With Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression counseling provides a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay. Therapy is a place to slow down, tell the truth about how you’re feeling, and receive support without judgment.
In therapy, we may:
Make sense of your emotional experience after birth
Reduce shame and self-blame
Address anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or mood changes
Process birth trauma or unmet expectations
Explore identity shifts and changes in relationships
Strengthen coping tools and emotional regulation
Therapy for postpartum depression isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel supported, understood, and steadier during a vulnerable time.
You don’t have to choose between caring for your baby and caring for yourself—therapy gives you the space to do both.
