Margie Schlesinger
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW, LCSW-C
Due to my personal experience with pregnancy loss and anxiety when becoming pregnant once again, I have gained personal and professional knowledge on this and on postpartum depression. I have had the privilege of many ob/gyn's referring their treasured patients to me for help in healing this pain.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Childbirth is beautiful and at the same time brings significant changes in life. Most women believe that they are supposed to instinctively and joyfully feel connected to their babies. If depression and anxiety occur, many feel guilty that they are bad mothers. It is important to be aware that post-partum depression is common and treatable and is a medical issue.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in postpartum depression, my approach to treatment is compassionate, holistic, and tailored to the unique needs of new mothers. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and support groups, I provide a safe space for women to express their feelings, explore the challenges of motherhood, and develop coping strategies. By addressing factors such as hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and social support, I help mothers navigate the complex emotions associated with postpartum depression. Additionally, I collaborate closely with healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care, including medication management when necessary. Psychoeducation about postpartum depression and self-care practices are also integral parts of treatment, empowering women to prioritize their mental health and well-being during this transformative period. My goal is to support mothers in overcoming postpartum depression, strengthening maternal-infant bonds, and embracing the joys of motherhood with resilience and confidence.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
In the tender, often overwhelming journey of motherhood, I offer a nurturing space for mothers grappling with postpartum depression. I understand the complex interplay of emotions that new mothers face — the joy, the fear, the overwhelming sense of responsibility, and the often unspoken sadness. With sensitivity and compassion, I walk alongside you, offering a listening ear and a guiding hand through this delicate phase. Together, we work to illuminate the path toward healing, balancing the challenges of motherhood with the need for personal care and emotional well-being. It's a journey of rediscovering your strength and joy, not just as a mother, but as a woman who deserves to thrive in every aspect of her life.
