Postpartum Depression
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Postpartum Depression
Amy L. Holdbrooks, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, ALC, BSW
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).

Postpartum Depression
Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
As a psychiatrist I know a lot about what medically happens to the body during and after pregnancy, and I have educated myself in multiple psychotherapy modalities for when medications aren't the answer or are not effective enough on their own. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'. I use evidence-based medicine to help reassure or adjust medications during pregnancy and postpartum. Medications don't always need to be stopped if there is already exposure, since it is often "risk vs. risk"-- the risk of the baby being exposed to the medication versus the risk of untreated depression/anxiety in the pregnancy and postpartum period. There is good evidence that quality psychotherapy, such as I provide, can minimize the need or the dose required to treat depression in the postpartum period. I can also give guidance around breastfeeding and medications.
