Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you are struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, know that you are not alone. So much happens during pregnancy and then welcoming a little one into the world. Your life is different, your body, your relationship, everything is different. You may also be sleep deprived, getting unsolicited parenting advice, and feeling too much or even numb. If you are struggling, it is not your fault and you are doing your best in each moment and day. Sometimes your best can look like keeping your little one alive and surviving another day. Reaching out for help is incredibly courageous and if you are looking for a fellow mama who gets it, who also happens to be a highly sensitive therapist, feel free to reach out to me.

I hold specialty training in maternal mental health, including the diagnosis and treatment of postpartum mood disorders — among them postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. Becoming a mother can bring unexpected emotional struggles that are often minimized or misunderstood. In our work together, you'll have space to speak honestly about the grief, the overwhelm, and the identity shifts — without judgment. Healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C

Postpartum depression is a form of grief. The person is coming to terms with the reality that their old life is dead and will no longer be the same.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The transition to motherhood can be wonderful and exciting, and it can also be lonely, challenging, and overwhelming. If you are feeling down, worried or like you just can't handle one more night waking or one more diaper blowout, then it might be time to reach out for support. You don't need to go through this tender time alone. I support women experiencing depression, anxiety and OCD during pregnancy or postpartum. As a mom of three, I understand what you are going through. You can get through this, and you can feel better.

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 or anxiety than you're comfortable with after having a baby, I can work with you to help you start feeling like yourself again.

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.
