Postpartum
Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Welcoming a new baby is often portrayed as a joyful time—but for many, it brings unexpected waves of sadness, anxiety, irritability, or even a sense of disconnection. If you’re struggling after birth, you're not failing—you're human, and you’re not alone. I help new moms and birthing parents navigate the emotional challenges of the postpartum period with compassion and evidence-based support. Whether you're experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help you find relief, reconnect with yourself, and feel more confident in your new role.

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.

Allison Gildner
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPCC, PMH-C
Postpartum depression is one of the most common mental health disorders among women who are pregnant or postpartum. It is also very misunderstood and frequently missed, or misdiagnosed. I have completed focused training in perinatal mental health disorders, including supervised clinical work and the completion of a certification program through Postpartum Support International. I look forward to coming alongside you in this transformative season of life, so that you can regain your sense of self and flourish in parenthood.

Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with women experiencing emotional distress related to childbirth —such as traumatic deliveries, medical interventions, intraoperative pain during cesarean, or perinatal loss—with sensitivity to how past sexual trauma can resurface during childbirth.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Postpartum depression is far more common than most new mothers are told — and far more treatable than it feels in the middle of it. If you are experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, or an overwhelming sense that something is wrong despite doing everything right, you are not failing as a mother. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and maternal mental health, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy designed specifically for new and expecting mothers navigating one of life's most significant transitions. Telehealth postpartum therapy available across 40+ states.

The transformative experience of welcoming a child can bring a spectrum of emotions for new parents. While feelings of overwhelm, worry, sadness, or irritability are understandable, persistent or intense feelings can indicate postpartum depression. As an expert in this area, I offer compassionate and effective support tailored to the unique needs of new mothers.

Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
The transition to parenthood can bring profound changes emotionally, physically, and relationally. Postpartum depression is more than the "baby blues" and can affect a parent's ability to enjoy daily life or feel connected to themselves and their child. We provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to address feelings of sadness, overwhelm, guilt, anxiety, or isolation while helping parents access the support they need during this important life stage.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Postpartum depression can bring sadness, guilt, or disconnection during a tender season. IFS, attachment, and mindfulness-based interventions provide support in softening shame and strengthening connection with self and child. Attachment, IFS, and interpersonal neurobiology approaches help with regulation and resilience. I also collaborate with prescribers around medication decisions and use diagnostic skills to differentiate postpartum depression from anxiety, bipolar shifts, or adjustment disorders.
