Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Postpartum Depression (PPD) treatment and support services focus on helping new mothers navigate the complex emotional challenges that may arise following childbirth. PPD is a common mental health concern characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue that can hinder a mother's ability to care for herself or her newborn. We provide compassionate care, understanding, and professional treatment strategies to support mothers in their recovery from postpartum depression.
Personalized Treatment and Healing
* Counseling and Psychotherapy: Offering individual therapy sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), to address the specific emotional needs of each mother.
* Medication Management: Assessing and providing guidance on the use of medications when necessary, while considering breastfeeding and hormonal fluctuations.
* Support Groups: Facilitating support groups to provide a shared space where mothers can connect with others going through similar experiences.
* Partner and Family Involvement: Involving partners and family members in the recovery process, providing education to enhance their understanding and ability to offer support.
* Wellness and Self-Care Strategies: Encouraging practices that promote physical well-being and self-care to support overall mental health during the postpartum period.
Goals of Postpartum Depression Treatment
Our PPD treatment and support services strive to:
* Alleviate Symptoms: Reduce the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms, helping mothers regain emotional balance.
* Strengthen Mother-Child Bonding: Assist mothers in developing a nurturing bond with their newborn, which is essential for the child's development and the mother's emotional well-being.
* Restore Functionality: Empower mothers to manage daily tasks and responsibilities effectively, improving their ability to care for themselves and their families.
* Build Resilience: Foster resilience and coping skills to handle the stresses and demands of motherhood.
* Promote Recovery and Well-being: Support sustained recovery and a return to a state of well-being, enabling mothers to experience the joys of motherhood alongside its challenges.
Postpartum Depression is a treatable condition, and our goal is to support mothers in overcoming these challenges so they can enjoy motherhood to the fullest. We believe in providing a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where mothers can seek help without stigma. If you or someone you know is struggling with postpartum depression, reach out to our treatment and support services. You are not alone, and with the right help, recovery is possible.

Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
As a certified nurse midwife, I provided bedside care to women and their families for 14 years before moving onto mental health. The first thing I did as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner was to start a perinatal service to support women throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Postpartum can be a challenging time for the birthing parent as well as their partner, robbing them of bonding with their baby. This is a multifactorial condition that can be treated with early intervention and support.
