The postpartum period can bring profound emotional and physical changes. While many parents expect this time to feel joyful, it can also bring feelings of sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, or disconnection. Our therapists specialize in supporting individuals experiencing postpartum depression by providing a compassionate space to talk openly about these experiences while developing tools that support healing, connection, and emotional well-being during this important life transition.

Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Post-partum depression can feel deeply confusing and isolating—especially when expectations of joy or connection don’t match your lived experience. You may feel numb, overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened by guilt for not feeling the way you thought you “should.”
From a trauma-informed perspective, post-partum depression can be influenced by many factors, including nervous-system overwhelm, changes in identity, earlier attachment experiences, or previous pregnancy or infant loss. These responses are not a reflection of your capacity to love or parent, but signals that something within you is needing care and support.
In therapy, we gently explore and process these experiences at a pace that feels safe and respectful. Using approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we support healing that honors both your history and your present needs—making space for greater connection, compassion, and ease in your relationship with yourself and your child.

Kim Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, ATR
Support is key when making that transition to parenthood. One in five new parents will experience anxiety or depression after the birth of a baby. Its really common but not talked about enough. No that you don't have to navigate it alone. I'd be happy to help. I have completed several advanced trainings in maternal mental health & provide a warm, welcoming presence to process all things connected to parenthood including depression, anxiety & trauma.

Tandra Froehlich Childress
Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
We are all aware of the idealistic story of love at first sight, the greatest joy we will ever receive, and instant completion of our family. Postpartum depression and anxiety may initially prevent us from experiencing these joys. When this happens, feelings of shame and guilt arise and further strengthen overwhelm and sadness. I am here to tell you that you can get through this. You are not alone.
