Joanne Whalen, Psy.D., PMH-C
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perinatal mental health is an area I feel most passionate about treating both as a psychologist and a parent.
I have supported women and birthing people during pregnancy, perinatal loss, infertility, IVF, birth trauma, and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International as well as trained in Mindful Birthing and Parenting.
I have worked directly in OBGYN clinics as well as in coordination with midwifery and OBGYN practices at a large university based hospital. I have completed research and published in the area of mindfulness based approaches for prevention of postpartum challenges. I have also presented on perinatal mental health issues to Midwifery and OBGYN providers groups at a large University based hospital system.
I have co-led a Mindfulness based group for women/birthing people during pregnancy for over a decade that focuses on wellness during pregnancy, reducing risk for postpartum depression and anxiety disorders, increasing social support and teaching skills to help navigate stress, pregnancy, labor, delivery and parenting.

Postpartum
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bringing a new life into the world is often painted as a time of joy and fulfillment—but for many, it is also a time of overwhelming emotions, exhaustion, and self-doubt. If you’ve been feeling more anxious, numb, or hopeless than excited, you are not alone. Maybe you struggle with guilt over not feeling the way you think you "should," or you find yourself withdrawing from loved ones. Perhaps everyday tasks feel impossible, or waves of sadness and frustration leave you feeling unrecognizable to yourself.
Postpartum depression is not a reflection of your love for your baby or your abilities as a parent—it is a real and treatable condition that many experience. Together, we will create a space where you can be honest about what you're going through, free from judgment. You deserve support, understanding, and the reassurance that you are not failing—you are adjusting to a profound life transition. With the right tools and care, it is possible to reconnect with yourself, find relief from the weight of depression, and move toward a place of balance and self-compassion.

Postpartum
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.”
For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood and postpartum issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Dr. Nadel has extensive education and training in post-partum disorders, understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
Lack of focus and concentration
Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
Being constantly in a state of worry
