Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The period after childbirth can bring unexpected emotional challenges, including sadness, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection. I provide a supportive space for individuals to process these experiences and adjust to the demands of this transition. Therapy focuses on emotional understanding, support, and rebuilding a sense of stability and connection.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Postpartum depression can bring persistent sadness, anxiety, guilt, irritability, exhaustion, or difficulty feeling connected to yourself or your baby. These experiences do not mean you are failing as a parent; postpartum depression is a treatable mental health condition that deserves compassionate support.
I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to process emotional and identity changes, reduce shame, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild confidence. When appropriate, I support coordinated care with physicians, psychiatrists, and other providers. You do not have to navigate this chapter alone, and reaching out for help is an act of strength and care.
