Closter, New Jersey therapist: Karen Nadel, psychologist
Postpartum

Karen Nadel

Psychologist, Psy.D.
For moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.” For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood and postpartum issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening. Dr. Nadel has extensive education and training in post-partum disorders, understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms. Common postpartum symptoms include: Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations Not feeling “bonded” with the baby Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions Lack of focus and concentration Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind Being constantly in a state of worry

Iowa City, Iowa therapist: Emily Hurlin, licensed clinical social worker
Postpartum

Emily Hurlin

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
The months after having a baby are supposed to feel joyful, and when they don't, many new parents feel alone and ashamed. Postpartum depression and anxiety can look like constant worry, numbness, irritability, intrusive thoughts, or feeling disconnected from your baby or your partner. My connection to this work goes back to before I became a therapist: I trained as a birth doula, supported midwives during my graduate practicum, and co-created a birth stories circle where parents could share their experiences. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk about what this season has really been like. When a difficult or traumatic birth is part of the picture, I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to help your body and mind process it. Because a new baby changes a relationship too, partners are always welcome to join, so you can support each other instead of struggling side by side.

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.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania therapist: Philadelphia Couples Therapy, psychologist
Postpartum

Philadelphia Couples Therapy

Psychologist, PsyD
Despite its obvious joys, new parenthood almost inevitably takes a toll on romantic partnerships. Seemingly overnight each partner is thrust into a different role from what they are used to, and a different role from their partner. They feel misunderstood, underappreciated, and often lonely. Additionally, there is a constant source of need, possibly contributing to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. New mothers famously feel guilt for whatever they feel they aren’t doing well enough as a mother. They might be seeking support but coming up short, which exacerbates their self-doubt and loneliness. New fathers often deeply desire to be helpful and good providers while bonding with their child, but sometimes they don’t feel good enough or appreciated despite their efforts. You might have a parent staying home for the first time, feeling lost in the mountain of domestic responsibilities. Therapy is often the last item on a new parent’s to-do list, but it is the ultimate form of self care, especially if their partner feels emotionally far away. Therapy is a way of reuniting the love that brought you together while both holding up this new little life.

Chicago, Illinois therapist: Juliette Grantham, licensed professional counselor
Postpartum

Juliette Grantham

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in postpartum mental health. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common, and the experience is rarely only clinical. You may be holding it together all day and falling apart once the baby sleeps, loving your child and missing your former life at the same time, unable to stop checking whether the baby is breathing, or afraid to admit even to yourself how hard this actually is. Rage and intrusive thoughts are more common than most people are told. I work psychoanalytically, which means a symptom like relentless vigilance is treated as saying something rather than as a malfunction. It carries an unconscious logic worth understanding. Early motherhood also stirs up your own beginnings, and how you were mothered often surfaces at three in the morning. Those echoes are frequently the heart of the work. If postpartum has been harder or stranger than you expected, I would be glad to talk.
