Postpartum Depression
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my work with clients experiencing postpartum depression, I provide a gentle, understanding space to explore and address the complex emotions that arise during this challenging time. Utilizing a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to the nuances of postpartum experiences, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we collaboratively navigate the journey toward healing. This holistic approach not only aims to alleviate the symptoms of postpartum depression but also supports clients in reconnecting with themselves and their loved ones, fostering resilience and self-compassion. Recognizing the unique journey of each individual, I am committed to offering personalized support, empowering clients to regain a sense of balance and well-being in their new role. My goal is to guide you through this period of adjustment with care and understanding, providing the tools and insights needed to move forward with confidence and joy.

Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
The symptoms of postpartum depression highlight the complex relationship between the emotional scars from the past and the difficulties of becoming a new mother. Motherhood, with its roots in the intricate mechanics of attachment, can intensify the effects of previous traumas by bringing on emotions of inadequacy, overwhelm, and loneliness. Like a shadow cast over the joy of childbirth, postpartum depression envelops mothers in a fog of sadness and despair, echoing the unmet emotional needs and the scars of past hurts. Therapy becomes a lifeline amidst the turbulence, offering a space to navigate the complexities of motherhood, process the echoes of past traumas, and cultivate resilience in the face of profound change. By nurturing compassionate connections and fostering self-compassion, mothers can navigate the terrain of postpartum depression with greater grace, finding solace in shared humanity and forging a path towards healing and renewed maternal bonds.
