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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
The transition into parenthood is a profound psychological shift that often brings unforeseen emotional vulnerabilities. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and interpersonal frameworks, I specialize in treating perinatal and postpartum depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Our clinical work focuses on processing the identity shift of motherhood, managing intrusive thoughts, establishing supportive care structures, and navigating maternal burnout in a safe, clinical environment.

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.

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.

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.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
As both a perinatal psychologist and a mother, I know how intense and tender this time can be. I'm here to support you through it. Motherhood can be beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and profoundly transformative - all at once. Postpartum anxiety and depression often reflect your needs, fears, and the shifts in identity and relationships that come with this stage of life. In our work, I offer a steady, supportive space to feel, reflect, and understand these experiences. With curiosity and care, these feelings can guide you toward greater insight, connection, and confidence as a parent.

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.
