Postpartum Depression therapists in Belleville, Illinois IL
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that often arises in women following childbirth. It brings about feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue, which can disrupt everyday activities and the ability to tend to oneself and the newborn. I would assist individuals grappling with postpartum depression by creating a supportive and understanding environment where they can freely share their emotions and worries without fear of criticism. Together, we would delve into the factors contributing to their depression, such as hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, past traumas, or relationship challenges.

Jessica Beaston
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Postpartum depression can be incredibly challenging for mothers, especially when symptoms get in the way of being the best parent they want to be. It's a difficult journey, but I offer a supportive space where mothers can explore their feelings without fear of judgment, helping them understand and navigate what's truly happening.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. oo often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.
