Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
We are all aware of the idealistic story of love at first sight, the greatest joy we will ever receive, and instant completion of our family. Postpartum depression and anxiety may initially prevent us from experiencing these joys. When this happens, feelings of shame and guilt arise and further strengthen overwhelm and sadness. I am here to tell you that you can get through this. You are not alone.

Postpartum depression is a form of grief. The person is coming to terms with the reality that their old life is dead and will no longer be the same.

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

Catherine DeMonte, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA., LMFT
Parenting is a life transition that catapults us into a brand new life, leaving behind our former life forever! Who knew an 8 pound package would alter life so profoundly?! It's beautiful. AND it's difficult. It changes so much. It's good to have a place to talk about those changes and navigate the way through with someone who relates to this. It's a time that effects the couple dramatically and communication skills often are needed. Roles change, sex changes or disappears for a while, there's sleep deprivation and mood swings. Seeing someone in a safe, loving. nurturing environment can make all the difference in how we get through this time.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
I am trained in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through Postpartum Support International PSI (www.Postpartum.net -it's a great resource for new parents), and am here to support you as a new parent, if you have a desire to become a parent, through the often invisible grief of miscarriage, as well as navigating relationship issues that can often follow having a baby. I see postpartum anxiety just as frequently if not more than postpartum depression. I'm also trained in supporting Postpartum OCD using Inference-based CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention.

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.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Becoming a mother is the ultimate rite of passage. It is literally the end of who you were and the becoming of a person you have not yet been. Sadly, our society expects mothers to bounce back (in body, mind, and soul) to who they were, but this completely contradicts the lived reality of becoming a mother. Everything has changed and very few people acknowledge this. This, along with a lack of robust perinatal and social support, and the demands and exhaustion of having a new baby, can bring a new mother to her knees. Together we can work on helping you integrate your new identity and find the support you need to thrive in your life as a mother and woman.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
