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.

Postpartum
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.
