Postpartum
Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can make the early months of parenthood feel overwhelming, lonely, or frightening. Many new parents experience intense worry, sadness, irritability, racing thoughts, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their baby. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I provide compassionate, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals understand what they’re experiencing, reduce emotional distress, and regain a sense of stability and confidence.
Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the challenges of sleep deprivation, shifting identity, relationship changes, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure to “feel okay.” Together, we work toward strengthening coping skills, rebuilding emotional balance, and helping you feel more grounded during this vulnerable and transformative time.

Bringing a new baby into the world doesn’t always feel the way you expected it to.

I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what you're going through, reconnect with yourself, and begin healing. With evidence-based support tailored to this tender stage of life, we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.

Amy L. Holdbrooks, LLC

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
(APA, 2022).

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Postpartum mood changes are common and do not mean that you've done anything wrong. Therapy can help during this transitional time. I have supported many new moms as they deal with postpartum anxiety and depression and find the path to feel like themselves again.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
