Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Struggling with depression or anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum? This is not your fault and you are not alone. (One in five women develop a mood disorder within a year of giving birth!) With expert care, you can be well, feel like yourself again, feel capable of being the parent, partner, and friend you want to be. If you are looking for help for sadness, anxiety, fears, irritability, rage, or loss related to building your family, I can help. At The Postpartum Adjustment Center, I have been providing empathic evidenced-based treatment for parents for over 20 years. I can help you find emotional stability and joy as you navigate the stresses of motherhood.

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.

New mothers expect to have a wonderful experience when they bring their babies home. If you are living with postpartum depression, that wonderful experience can feel like a nightmare.

Common risk factors for PPD are the following:
• A change in hormone levels after childbirth
• Previous experience of depression or anxiety
• Family history of depression or mental illness
• Stress involved in caring for a newborn and managing new life changes
• Having a challenging baby who cries more than usual, is hard to comfort, or whose sleep and hunger needs are irregular and hard to predict
• Having a baby with special needs (premature birth, medical complications, illness)
• First-time motherhood, very young motherhood, or older motherhood
• Other emotional stressors, such as the death of a loved one or family problems
• Financial or employment problems
• Isolation and lack of social support
