Postpartum Depression therapists in Saint Augustine Shores, Florida FL
Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Giving birth and raising a child is one of the most significant adjustments any parent must make that requires us to accommodate ourselves to the presence of an infant/young child who is dependent on us. This can (and almost certainly does at times) feel desperate to the point that we don't know what to do. It is vital that we allow ourselves some degree of self-compassion to know and accept these overwhelming circumstance in order to reach out to others for support and guidance to help us through.

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.

Are you wondering why you feel down and unmotivated to do anything instead of enjoying these precious moments with your little bundle of joy? While many birthing parents experience what's called the "baby blues," you may be experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression if you find yourself feeling depressed for over two weeks beyond childbirth. Many parents feel extremely alone in their sadness, believing that they are the only ones who experience this. However, postpartum depression (along with other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) is fairly common. The months following an infant's birth can be especially hard for mothers. In addition to the fluctuating hormones, many find that they don't have the support that they need. In my work with new parents, I assess for postpartum depression, anxiety, and childbirth trauma. I tailor treatment to your unique difficulties and therapy needs, incorporating research-supported therapy treatments. I also provide information on community resources, and am happy to collaborate with support persons you've identified, with your permission. I've taken Postpartum Support International's certification training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, as well as their advanced psychotherapy training. I'm also currently serving as Co-Chair of PSI-FL's Board.
