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.

Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
While it is typical to experience mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child, 15-20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. The term "postpartum depression" is most frequently used; however, many women actually experience a variety of challenges including depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy or postpartum OCD, Postpartum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (many times referred to as "birth trauma"), bipolar mood disorders, or postpartum psychosis. Symptoms can appear anytime during pregnancy and during the first year after childbirth. I use effective and well researched treatment approaches targeted to your specific needs to help you recover.
