Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
You love your baby, but you don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure how to get back to feeling okay. Postpartum depression and anxiety affects 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers. It can include feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, anger, guilt, worthlessness, loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy, and can affect your ability to bond with your baby and connect with your partner. Postpartum depression is common, treatable, and does not mean you're a bad parent. With the right support, the transition to parenthood can feel much more manageable.
I’m a licensed psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) offering virtual individual therapy to adults struggling with depression, anxiety, identity shifts, and relationship challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and am passionate about supporting parents through the tender transition to parenthood.

Postpartum
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.

• 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
