Postpartum
Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Postpartum depression can occur during pregnancy or after childbirth and may include sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and feelings of overwhelm. I support individuals experiencing mood changes during this important life transition. Treatment focuses on emotional support, symptom management, and developing strategies that help new parents care for themselves while caring for their child.

Postpartum
Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
As a perinatal mental health specialist, I focus on assessing and treating postpartum depression. This involves supporting individuals and couples experiencing emotional challenges after childbirth, such as persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, or feelings of disconnection from their baby. This work provides a safe and compassionate space to process these emotions, address changes in identity and relationships, and develop coping strategies. Counseling helps clients build support systems, restore emotional balance, and strengthen bonding with their child. The goal is to guide parents toward healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of confidence and well-being during the postpartum period.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
New parenthood is often idealized as a joyful, magical time—but for many mothers and fathers, it brings unexpected waves of sadness, disconnection, or anxiety. You may feel emotionally flat, cry uncontrollably, or find it hard to bond with your baby. These experiences can be confusing and isolating, especially when the world expects you to feel nothing but joy. Therapy offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to tend to your emotional needs—so you can care for yourself even as you care for your child. You don’t have to suffer in silence or feel ashamed for struggling. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Annie Kurz
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.B.A., LMHC
Ms. Kurz speaks quarterly at the Evergreen Hospital Baby Parent group which she attended 27 years ago as a new mom with a colicky baby. Postpartum is far more common than is realized. Setting minor goals, asking and getting support from spouse, family, friends and even doulas are strategies that are explored.

Postpartum
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.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
The postpartum period, the fourth trimester, can be a deeply transformative and deeply overwhelming, bringing conflicting feelings that are often afraid to voice. With specialized perinatal mental health training (PMH-C), I provide a space to be honest about what this season actually feels like, and real support to move through it.

Postpartum
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. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.

Postpartum
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.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Postpartum depression can feel heavy, disorienting, and lonely—especially when the realities of parenthood don’t match the stories we’re told. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space rooted in a feminist, neurodiversity-affirming, and queer-affirming approach. Together, we’ll honor your truth, explore your emotional landscape, and support your healing in a way that centers your values, identity, and lived experience.

Morgan Desai
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMFTA
Your body is changing, your hormones are in overdrive, your relationships are adjusting, you have a million doctor appointments to manage, and life is still moving full speed ahead. On top of that, you are navigating all of the information and opinions (often unsolicited) family, social media, and strangers have to offer. You might also find yourself reflecting on your own upbringing and family dynamics in new and unexpected ways.
You deserve to have a safe space dedicated solely to you and your journey where you can process all of these changes and emotions. Therapy can also help to strengthen your support system, and move through this experience feeling more grounded and empowered.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
