Kate Leak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PMH-C, EMDR certified
I am postpartum mental health certified (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. This means that I have received in-depth training in the treatment of perinatal trauma and mood disorders (PMADs). I have received additional training for EMDR and treating perinatal trauma. EMDR reprocessing of these disorders includes focusing on the underlying negative belief of self, and identifying if this is a new belief as a result of recent struggles or if this is a core belief that has been part of the system for longer.

Jessica Evers Killebrew, Psy.D.
Registered Psychotherapist, Psy.D.
I specialize in motherhood in general, all stages. PPD is profoundly overlooked and under addressed unfortunately. Looking inward and applying real time approaches we can learn to slow down, get real about our needs and how to balance those, and grow into a new version of ourselves. Looking at the way our life radically transforms through pregnancy and birth, motherhood is amongst my greatest passion as it is radically transformative and challenging. We are isolated as mothers in this country particularly. I believe it is women guiding other women through this that will normalize PPD and bring mothers out of isolation. I couldn't be more honored to walk this journey with other mothers. It is also the path I walk with two children ages 8 and 11 - they remind me of my greatest pitfalls and guide me to grow daily.

Sarah Post
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My experience as a mother and therapist has guided my passion for working with perinatal mental health. I ran a nonprofit for seven years focusing on the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I continue this work in my private practice and bring a welcoming holistic approach to perinatal depression, anxiety, and grief.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are quite common for women transitioning into motherhood. The postpartum period can be highly overwhelming as a woman's entire identity shifts in becoming a mother. The lack of available time, the lack of regular sleep, challenges with newborns, personal trauma, and compromises around returning to work can all be significant factors in why a woman does not feel like herself postpartum. I am certified in postpartum care as well as nervous system regulation and trauma therapy, and we can work with a variety of modalities to support your postpartum transition.

Tori Buckley
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Given approximately 10-20% of birthing parents--and many non-birthing parents--are affected by Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), it's of the utmost importance to support parents during such a major transition in their lives. I've trained with Postpartum Support International, completed a year internship in a perinatal mental health clinic, and attend ongoing trainings in order to best guide parents in preventing and treating PMADs. I enjoy working with families that are blended, queer, ethically non-monogamous, and/or platonically coparenting. This transition affects everyone involved, and I find it important to not approach this work solely through a cis-femme lens.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with mothers in the months and years after birth who feel “off” in ways that others don’t always see. Many of the mothers I see look like they are managing from the outside, while feeling anything but okay on the inside. You may love your baby and still feel overwhelmed, numb, irritable, or not at home in your own life.
Some have had medically complicated or frightening births, NICU stays, pregnancy or birth complications, or babies with ongoing medical needs. Others had births that looked fine from the outside, but something about the experience or the aftermath has left them feeling unlike themselves.
Postpartum experiences can include persistent sadness or emptiness; anxiety, racing thoughts, or a sense of dread that does not match what is happening; intrusive thoughts or images, including fears about something happening to your baby; replaying the birth or hospital stay and wondering if you did something wrong; irritability or feeling on edge with your baby, partner, or other children; difficulty sleeping, eating, or caring for yourself even when you technically have the chance; feeling disconnected from your baby, your body, or the person you used to be; shame or guilt that you are not enjoying this time the way you thought you would; and loneliness even when you are rarely alone.
For mothers whose babies had NICU stays or ongoing medical issues, there may also be ongoing vigilance and fear, medical trauma, and the sense that you never really got a chance to just be home with your baby. I have spent more than three decades sitting with women in the perinatal season, and I know how varied “postpartum” can be.
In our work together, we slow things down and make room for your full experience without judgment. Your birth story, your mood, your fears, and your exhaustion are all welcome here. From there, we explore small, realistic shifts that help you feel more anchored, supported, and less alone in this season of your life. You do not have to be in crisis to reach out, or to prove that you are “struggling enough.” Feeling off, unlike yourself, or quietly overwhelmed is enough.

Adjusting to life after pregnancy can be difficult or devastating. You don't have to go it alone to manage your emotions and adjust to your new roles.

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Postpartum depression also known as perinatal mood and anxiety disorder is a mood disorder that can affect women after childbirth. After childbirth there are many factors which contribute to being overwhelmed including sleep deprivation, physical discomfort and hormonal changes, as estrogen levels drop quickly, which can trigger mood swings. Mothers with postpartum depression experience feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that may make it difficult for them to complete daily care activities for themselves or for others. I will partner with you to explore the many challenges you are experiencing, assess your postpartum depression and work to improve your level of functioning by creating a new balance in your life.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Postpartum depression can bring sadness, guilt, or disconnection during a tender season. IFS, attachment, and mindfulness-based interventions provide support in softening shame and strengthening connection with self and child. Attachment, IFS, and interpersonal neurobiology approaches help with regulation and resilience. I also collaborate with prescribers around medication decisions and use diagnostic skills to differentiate postpartum depression from anxiety, bipolar shifts, or adjustment disorders.
