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.

We provide compassionate care, understanding, and professional treatment strategies to support mothers in their recovery from postpartum depression.

* Medication Management: Assessing and providing guidance on the use of medications when necessary, while considering breastfeeding and hormonal fluctuations.
* Support Groups: Facilitating support groups to provide a shared space where mothers can connect with others going through similar experiences.
* Partner and Family Involvement: Involving partners and family members in the recovery process, providing education to enhance their understanding and ability to offer support.
* Wellness and Self-Care Strategies: Encouraging practices that promote physical well-being and self-care to support overall mental health during the postpartum period.
Goals of Postpartum Depression Counseling
Our PPD counseling and support services strive to:
* Alleviate Symptoms: Reduce the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms, helping mothers regain emotional balance.
* Strengthen Mother-Child Bonding: Assist mothers in developing a nurturing bond with their newborn, which is essential for the child's development and the mother's emotional well-being.
* Restore Functionality: Empower mothers to manage daily tasks and responsibilities effectively, improving their ability to care for themselves and their families.
* Build Resilience: Foster resilience and coping skills to handle the stresses and demands of motherhood.
* Promote Recovery and Well-being: Support sustained recovery and a return to a state of well-being, enabling mothers to experience the joys of motherhood alongside its challenges.

We believe in providing a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where mothers can seek help without stigma. You are not alone, and with the right help, recovery is possible.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for postpartum depression and related perinatal mental health challenges, including postpartum anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts after childbirth, bonding difficulties, and the stress that can accompany early parenthood. These experiences can deeply affect emotional well-being, relationships, marriage dynamics, and overall family functioning.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to postpartum mental health, helping clients navigate the emotional, psychological, and relational changes that often occur after childbirth. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, guilt, disconnection, or exhaustion, while also addressing the underlying stressors and life adjustments that may be contributing to distress.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing and recovery. Treatment focuses on reducing emotional distress, restoring balance, strengthening coping skills, and helping clients reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and their sense of purpose.
Postpartum challenges often involve significant hormonal, emotional, and identity shifts, and they can be intensified by past trauma, lack of support, sleep deprivation, or ongoing stress. Brad’s approach helps clients explore both present-day stressors and deeper emotional patterns in order to support meaningful and lasting recovery.
Therapy is collaborative, individualized, and focused on helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered during this important life transition. The goal is not only symptom relief, but also helping clients rebuild emotional stability, confidence, and connection within themselves and their family system.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move through postpartum depression, restore emotional balance, and experience greater connection, joy, and stability in motherhood and family life.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Welcoming a new baby can bring joy and excitement, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and far from what you expected. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common and treatable, yet many new parents suffer in silence—feeling guilty, exhausted, or worried they’re “not doing enough.” I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process these feelings, normalize your experience, and build strategies for coping with mood changes, intrusive thoughts, or heightened worry. Together, we’ll focus on restoring balance, strengthening support, and helping you feel more grounded and confident as you adjust to this new chapter.

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.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Postpartum depression is more than the stress of becoming a new parent. This monumental transition into parenthood can awaken far more than new responsibilities, and the postpartum period may stir earlier life experiences, including attachment trauma, emotional overwhelm, and grief while also reshaping identity and relationships. As a parent, your own imprints may be activated with the news of pregnancy or upon the arrival of your little one.
PPD is a real and treatable condition that can affect mood, identity, bonding and attachment with your baby, and even your sense of yourself. Drawing from somatic and pre/perinatal psychology, therapy provides a compassionate, trauma-informed space to support healing and bonding, nervous system regulation, and help you reconnect with yourself and your baby at a pace that feels safe. You will develop attunement abilities for the development of a secure foundation for you and your child. Couples welcome.
