Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, know that you are not alone. So much happens during pregnancy and then welcoming a little one into the world. Your life is different, your body, your relationship, everything is different. You may also be sleep deprived, getting unsolicited parenting advice, and feeling too much or even numb. If you are struggling, it is not your fault and you are doing your best in each moment and day. Sometimes your best can look like keeping your little one alive and surviving another day. Reaching out for help is incredibly courageous and if you are looking for a fellow mama who gets it, who also happens to be a highly sensitive therapist, feel free to reach out to me.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Postpartum depression is far more common than most new mothers are told — and far more treatable than it feels in the middle of it. If you are experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, or an overwhelming sense that something is wrong despite doing everything right, you are not failing as a mother. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and maternal mental health, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy designed specifically for new and expecting mothers navigating one of life's most significant transitions. Telehealth postpartum therapy available across 40+ states.

Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
Postpartum depression does not always show up as sadness, tiredness, feeling bad about yourself. It shows up as irritability, mood swings, yelling at your husband and kids, feeling like you are the only one doing anything, feeling stuck and suffocated. It can show up as feeling distant and disconnected from your partner and child, feeling bored when playing with your baby and having a hard time feeling that love for anyone especially your baby.

Annalisa Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I formerly helped women and families as a Postpartum Doula and Prenatal Yoga Instructor prior to becoming a therapist. I feel passionate about this sacred stage of life and the importance of supporting women through the greatest transition they will ever experience. Sometimes hormonal imbalances, unmet expectations and unforeseen challenges lead to an unexpected struggle during an incredibly tender time and extra support is necessary to help a new mother move away from self judgement and shame.

Feeling sad, inadequate, and overwhelmed during a time when everyone else expects you to be blissful can add to the pain. Becoming a parent is a huge undertaking and it doesn't always happen smoothly. If you are experiencing more sadness or anxiety than you're comfortable with after having a baby, I can work with you to help you start feeling like yourself again.

Nekea Strong (Abundant Life Therapy)

Working with individuals navigating postpartum depression involves creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can speak honestly about what they are experiencing.

My focus is on helping clients reduce shame, build coping tools, and reconnect with themselves while adjusting to life after birth. My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative, with the goal of supporting emotional healing, strengthening confidence, and helping clients feel more grounded and supported during this tender season.

The loss of a desired child at any time during pregnancy can be a devistating loss and a profound challenge. Psychotherapy can provide a safe place to discuss and explore your emotions and grief. Learning how to cope is different for every person and family member affected by loss.

Kim Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, ATR
Support is key when making that transition to parenthood. One in five new parents will experience anxiety or depression after the birth of a baby. Its really common but not talked about enough. No that you don't have to navigate it alone. I'd be happy to help. I have completed several advanced trainings in maternal mental health & provide a warm, welcoming presence to process all things connected to parenthood including depression, anxiety & trauma.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
