Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Welcoming a child is a monumental life shift, but when postpartum depression or anxiety takes hold, it can leave you feeling completely untethered, exhausted, and filled with invisible guilt. Anne provides a warm, deeply validating, and judgment-free space just for you. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), she specializes in helping mothers, fathers, and partners navigate the heavy, complex mood changes that can follow pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.
Anne’s integrative approach goes beyond standard parenting advice to treat the root of perinatal depression. By combining evidence-based clinical protocols with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she helps parents quiet intrusive thoughts, regulate an overwhelmed nervous system, and process profound shifts in identity. Whether you are facing traditional postpartum depression, navigating reproductive trauma, grieving a loss, or balancing motherhood with a chronic medical diagnosis, Anne is dedicated to helping you break through the isolation, build gentle coping strategies, and safely reconnect with yourself and your baby.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Giving birth and raising a child is one of the most significant adjustments any parent must make that requires us to accommodate ourselves to the presence of an infant/young child who is dependent on us. This can (and almost certainly does at times) feel desperate to the point that we don't know what to do. It is vital that we allow ourselves some degree of self-compassion to know and accept these overwhelming circumstance in order to reach out to others for support and guidance to help us through.

Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can make the early months of parenthood feel overwhelming, lonely, or frightening. Many new parents experience intense worry, sadness, irritability, racing thoughts, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their baby. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I provide compassionate, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals understand what they’re experiencing, reduce emotional distress, and regain a sense of stability and confidence.
Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the challenges of sleep deprivation, shifting identity, relationship changes, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure to “feel okay.” Together, we work toward strengthening coping skills, rebuilding emotional balance, and helping you feel more grounded during this vulnerable and transformative time.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
It’s common for new mothers (and fathers) to experience a wide range of emotions after childbirth—joy and gratitude mixed with sadness, anxiety, or a sense of being overwhelmed. These feelings don’t mean you’re failing as a parent; they mean you’re human. Postpartum counseling offers a supportive space to talk openly about your experience, understand what you’re going through, and learn ways to care for yourself during this transition. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more balanced, confident, and connected—to yourself and your baby.

Postpartum
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with mothers in the months and years after birth who feel “off” in ways that others don’t always see. Many of the mothers I see look like they are managing from the outside, while feeling anything but okay on the inside. You may love your baby and still feel overwhelmed, numb, irritable, or not at home in your own life.
Some have had medically complicated or frightening births, NICU stays, pregnancy or birth complications, or babies with ongoing medical needs. Others had births that looked fine from the outside, but something about the experience or the aftermath has left them feeling unlike themselves.
Postpartum experiences can include persistent sadness or emptiness; anxiety, racing thoughts, or a sense of dread that does not match what is happening; intrusive thoughts or images, including fears about something happening to your baby; replaying the birth or hospital stay and wondering if you did something wrong; irritability or feeling on edge with your baby, partner, or other children; difficulty sleeping, eating, or caring for yourself even when you technically have the chance; feeling disconnected from your baby, your body, or the person you used to be; shame or guilt that you are not enjoying this time the way you thought you would; and loneliness even when you are rarely alone.
For mothers whose babies had NICU stays or ongoing medical issues, there may also be ongoing vigilance and fear, medical trauma, and the sense that you never really got a chance to just be home with your baby. I have spent more than three decades sitting with women in the perinatal season, and I know how varied “postpartum” can be.
In our work together, we slow things down and make room for your full experience without judgment. Your birth story, your mood, your fears, and your exhaustion are all welcome here. From there, we explore small, realistic shifts that help you feel more anchored, supported, and less alone in this season of your life. You do not have to be in crisis to reach out, or to prove that you are “struggling enough.” Feeling off, unlike yourself, or quietly overwhelmed is enough.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Postpartum depression can feel isolating, overwhelming, and at times confusing, especially during a period that is often expected to feel joyful. I support clients as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that can come after childbirth, including sadness, anxiety, irritability, guilt, or feeling disconnected from themselves or their baby. In our work together, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process these experiences while also building coping strategies and emotional support systems. My goal is to help you feel understood, less alone, and more grounded as you adjust to this new chapter of life.
