Postpartum Depression
Courtney Whetstone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Having a baby is hard!!! There is so much that goes into it as far as body and mind and mood are concerned and having the right approach to be able to tackle these things are a must! Once we have the arrival of the new baby, it often can feel like there is no time for yourself, that the baby has completely taken over your life which can lead to feelings of guilt and depression. These are all normal feeling and I want to be able to help normalize some of this and how to work through these

The perinatal period is "supposed to be great" right?

"Enjoy every minute!"...
"You must be over the moon with joy!"...
"What a blessing!"...

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Feeling sad, inadequate, and overwhelmed during a time when everyone else expects you to be blissful can add to the pain. Becoming a parent is a huge undertaking and it doesn't always happen smoothly. If you are experiencing more sadness than you're comfortable with after having a baby, I can work with you to help you start feeling like yourself again.

Raquel Molina
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have years of experience after facilitating peripartum and postpartum depression/anxiety groups and working with individuals with postpartum depression or anxiety. Many women experience symptoms before or after the birth of a child. Some women may feel sad, anxious or guilty. Some mother's may have a hard time adjusting after realizing having a child is not what they expected and internal or external pressures may contribute to distress and functional impairments. Therapy can help support a parent during this difficult time.
