Postpartum Depression
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.

Postpartum Depression
Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
"Adverse imprinting results from any event or events that overwhelms us on a spiritual, psychological, physiological, and/or structural level. Until resolved, adverse imprinting will impact the baby, child, and adult on all levels throughout life" (Myrna Martin, et al). Behaviors arise from adverse imprinting to manage trauma, and do not come from our primary self, our original authenticity. Life becomes more and more difficult, illness arises, "flow" stops. All of our work together addresses this from a foundation of Health, and is a process of building resiliency - the nervous system's ability to handle stressful events that inevitably are part of life. A capacity that comes from our authentic nature, from more joy, heart, and presence, instead of detrimental imprints - imprints that were once necessary and helpful but now may be harmful to your life. Your work with me, or your child's, creates secure attachment and safety regardless of a turbulent world.
I also offer environmental illness/mold recovery consultations and treatment using integrative functional health & nutrition therapies. My specialty here involves Microbiome recovery and resilience.

Postpartum Depression
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
It’s common for new mothers (and fathers) to experience a wide range of emotions after childbirth—joy and gratitude mixed with sadness, anxiety, or a sense of being overwhelmed. These feelings don’t mean you’re failing as a parent; they mean you’re human. Postpartum counseling offers a supportive space to talk openly about your experience, understand what you’re going through, and learn ways to care for yourself during this transition. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more balanced, confident, and connected—to yourself and your baby.
