Postpartum Depression
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.

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.

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.

Pamela Meyerson
Therapist, LCSW, Master in School Psychology
It is often normal to feel a little overwhelmed and even anxious after giving birth. If you are experiencing postpartum depression symptoms for more than three weeks, it is beneficial to seek treatment. Individuals have been able to successfully heal their depression on their own, but seeking postpartum counseling results in less trial and error and for you to receive expert advice and an actionable plan from a licensed professional.
