Soma Aloia, Holistic Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, SE, CSC, CYT
Postpartum depression is more than the stress of becoming a new parent. This monumental transition into parenthood can awaken far more than new responsibilities, and the postpartum period may stir earlier life experiences, including attachment trauma, emotional overwhelm, and grief while also reshaping identity and relationships. As a parent, your own imprints may be activated with the news of pregnancy or upon the arrival of your little one.
PPD is a real and treatable condition that can affect mood, identity, bonding and attachment with your baby, and even your sense of yourself. Drawing from somatic and pre/perinatal psychology, therapy provides a compassionate, trauma-informed space to support healing and bonding, nervous system regulation, and help you reconnect with yourself and your baby at a pace that feels safe. You will develop attunement abilities for the development of a secure foundation for you and your child. Couples welcome.

Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist (PMH-C), I specialize in postpartum depression and mood changes that arise before and after childbirth, including symptoms that follow a difficult or traumatic birth experience. Many women I work with feel numb, irritable, disconnected, or unlike themselves — sometimes accompanied by guilt or shame for not feeling the way they envisioned. Using EMDR and attachment-focused therapy, we address both the emotional impact of the birth and the deeper patterns contributing to depression, helping you feel more present, steady, and connected over time.

Dr. Susie King
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Help in coping with postpartum depression so that you can get to the other side of it and begin to feel the joys of motherhood. The postpartum period involves far more stress than just healing from the birth, nursing, and changing diapers. It can involve tensions with your partner, severe lack of sleep, fears about your child's wellbeing, guilt, even grief.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
After welcoming a baby, many parents feel anxious, numb, or unlike themselves—and then guilty for feeling that way. I help new mothers and parents make sense of their emotions, reduce overwhelm, and begin feeling connected to themselves and their babies again.
