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.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Much like loss and grief, PostPartum Depression is an issue that can be resolved through Hypnotherapy. Once we understand the specific triggers for the various symptoms, we can alter the client's responses, installing positive triggers. We can even alter the body's responses, going into the part of the subconscious mind that controls hormones and other physical processes and change settings, getting the body to reset things to the optimum levels. This is a technique that I have used frequently for many different issues and it works powerfully.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
The postpartum period is tender, emotional, and unexpectedly lonely. Parenthood brings a profound identity shift, and feelings of sadness, guilt, anxiety, or confusion can surface even when everything looks “fine” or "normal" on the outside. In therapy, we slow down and gently explore these experiences. I'm here for you as a nonjudgmental space to help you process the emotional weight of the postpartum season and find relief, clarity, and support during a time that can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The transition to motherhood can be wonderful and exciting, and it can also be lonely, challenging, and overwhelming. If you are feeling down, worried or like you just can't handle one more night waking or one more diaper blowout, then it might be time to reach out for support. You don't need to go through this tender time alone. I support women experiencing depression, anxiety and OCD during pregnancy or postpartum. As a mom of three, I understand what you are going through. You can get through this, and you can feel better.

Courtney Whetstone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Having a baby is hard!!! There is so much that goes into it as far as body and mind and mood are concerned and having the right approach to be able to tackle these things are a must! Once we have the arrival of the new baby, it often can feel like there is no time for yourself, that the baby has completely taken over your life which can lead to feelings of guilt and depression. These are all normal feeling and I want to be able to help normalize some of this and how to work through these
