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.

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).

Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The postpartum period can bring profound emotional changes, and it may be difficult to reconcile what you're experiencing with what you expected motherhood to feel like. You may be feeling persistently sad, anxious, irritable, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. You might also be struggling with guilt, self-doubt, or the pressure to manage everything while caring for your baby and adjusting to a new identity. You don't have to navigate these feelings alone, and experiencing them doesn't mean you're failing as a parent. Therapy offers a compassionate space to make sense of what you're going through, explore the emotional changes and expectations surrounding motherhood, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can work toward greater self-compassion, a stronger sense of support, and a more manageable path through this transition.
