Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Postpartum Depression counseling and support services focus on helping new mothers navigate the complex emotional challenges that may arise following childbirth. PPD is a common mental health concern characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue that can hinder a mother's ability to care for herself or her newborn. We provide compassionate care, understanding, and professional treatment strategies to support mothers in their recovery from postpartum depression.
Personalized Treatment and Healing
* Counseling: Offering individual counseling sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), to address the specific emotional needs of each mother.
* 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.
Postpartum Depression is a treatable condition, and our goal is to support mothers in overcoming these challenges so they can enjoy motherhood to the fullest. 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.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with new and expecting mothers navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, including the intrusive thoughts and OCD-like symptoms that can accompany the postpartum period and often go unspoken. I've received specialized training through Postpartum Support International, in both English and Spanish, and I bring that alongside my broader background in CBT and OCD treatment to help clients understand what they're experiencing and build practical tools to manage it. When helpful, I collaborate with other providers involved in your care, such as your OB-GYN or psychiatrist, so your treatment is coordinated rather than happening in isolation. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

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.

Hinda Dubin
Psychiatrist, M.D.
Postpartum depression is a serious but treatable illness. Safe and effective treatment benefits both the mother and baby. All aspects contributing to the situation are carefully evaluated and addressed. If medication is indicated, the needs of the mother and baby are considered. Lactation concerns are considered as well.

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.

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.

Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
Bringing a new baby into the world doesn’t always feel the way you expected it to. If you're struggling with sadness, anxiety, irritability, or a sense of disconnection after birth, you're not alone—and you’re not failing. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what you're going through, reconnect with yourself, and begin healing. With evidence-based support tailored to this tender stage of life, we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.
