Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Bringing a new life into the world is supposed to feel joyful, but for many women, it can also bring unexpected sadness, anxiety, numbness, or feelings that are hard to explain and even harder to admit out loud. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in supporting women through postpartum depression and the full spectrum of perinatal mental health concerns, including prenatal anxiety, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy and in the months following birth. We want you to know that what you are experiencing is real, it is common, and it does not make you a bad mother. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we help you process your feelings, find your footing in this new season, and rediscover the warmth and connection you deserve with yourself and your baby. You reached out, and that took courage. We are so glad you are here.

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.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Childbirth is beautiful and at the same time brings significant changes in life. Most women believe that they are supposed to instinctively and joyfully feel connected to their babies. If depression and anxiety occur, many feel guilty that they are bad mothers. It is important to be aware that post-partum depression is common and treatable and is a medical issue.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bringing a new life into the world is often painted as a time of joy and fulfillment—but for many, it is also a time of overwhelming emotions, exhaustion, and self-doubt. If you’ve been feeling more anxious, numb, or hopeless than excited, you are not alone. Maybe you struggle with guilt over not feeling the way you think you "should," or you find yourself withdrawing from loved ones. Perhaps everyday tasks feel impossible, or waves of sadness and frustration leave you feeling unrecognizable to yourself.
Postpartum depression is not a reflection of your love for your baby or your abilities as a parent—it is a real and treatable condition that many experience. Together, we will create a space where you can be honest about what you're going through, free from judgment. You deserve support, understanding, and the reassurance that you are not failing—you are adjusting to a profound life transition. With the right tools and care, it is possible to reconnect with yourself, find relief from the weight of depression, and move toward a place of balance and self-compassion.

Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
While it is typical to experience mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child, 15-20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. The term "postpartum depression" is most frequently used; however, many women actually experience a variety of challenges including depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy or postpartum OCD, Postpartum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (many times referred to as "birth trauma"), bipolar mood disorders, or postpartum psychosis. Symptoms can appear anytime during pregnancy and during the first year after childbirth. I use effective and well researched treatment approaches targeted to your specific needs to help you recover.
