Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Feeling sad, inadequate, and overwhelmed during a time when everyone else expects you to be blissful can add to the pain. Becoming a parent is a huge undertaking and it doesn't always happen smoothly. If you are experiencing more sadness than you're comfortable with after having a baby, I can work with you to help you start feeling like yourself again.

Raquel Molina
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have years of experience after facilitating peripartum and postpartum depression/anxiety groups and working with individuals with postpartum depression or anxiety. Many women experience symptoms before or after the birth of a child. Some women may feel sad, anxious or guilty. Some mother's may have a hard time adjusting after realizing having a child is not what they expected and internal or external pressures may contribute to distress and functional impairments. Therapy can help support a parent during this difficult time.

Yael Sherne, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I know firsthand the changes and challenges that come after having a baby. The postpartum period is one of the most emotionally charged times a woman goes through in life. You are experiencing physical and hormonal changes, lifestyle and identity changes, and major shifts in life roles - not to mention chronic sleep deprivation. It is also a time when so much about your own experiences as a child resurfaces. I have specialized experience and training in supporting new mothers during this delicate time. You deserve the support to take care of your self, and you do not have to do it alone.

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.
