Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
The postpartum period is tender, emotional, and unexpectedly lonely. Parenthood brings a profound identity shift, and feelings of sadness, guilt, anxiety, or confusion can surface even when everything looks “fine” or "normal" on the outside. In therapy, we slow down and gently explore these experiences. I'm here for you as a nonjudgmental space to help you process the emotional weight of the postpartum season and find relief, clarity, and support during a time that can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming.

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. The sadness of grief is an important component of Postpartum Depression and is necessary to help the person move towards acceptance and integrated meaning.

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.

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.

San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, where the pressures of the tech industry — performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the psychological cost of relentless innovation culture — drive significant demand for therapists experienced in high-achievement environments. The city's large South Asian and East Asian communities mean culturally competent therapists who understand the intersection of immigrant identity, family expectations, and mental health are particularly sought after. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing independent therapy community. Many South Bay therapists offer evening and weekend hours to accommodate the demanding work schedules common in the tech sector.
