Postpartum
Dr. Rebeca Meléndez
Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC
Do you ever feel like you’re not connecting with or being emotionally present for your infant? Are you so stressed out and worried about everything that you don’t even have the energy to bond with your child? Does it seem like no one around you understands what you’re going through? Maybe you feel isolated and discouraged. Perhaps you spend so much time making sure your baby is safe that you have trouble relaxing and enjoying each moment. Or it could be that your exhaustion and anxiety are driving a wedge between you and your partner. You may not feel depressed or anxious, but you find yourself feeling guilt or shame about all the things you think you should be doing. Or maybe every little stressor sets you off and—once you’re upset—you have a hard time controlling your irritability or anger. As a mother of two, I know exactly how you feel. Many of these signs might not seem like postpartum symptoms at first glance. However, if your guilt or irritability is making it harder for you to adjust to life as a new mom, these feelings can still leave you overwhelmed. If symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety are getting in your way, therapy can help you cope with them and connect with your baby.

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.

Linardi Therapy Services
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT)
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a treatable medical condition, not a personal failure, causing intense, lasting sadness, anxiety, or exhaustion that interferes with daily life and bonding. Therapy provides a safe space to process these feelings, develop coping strategies, and rebuild confidence.
Welcoming a new baby can bring a mix of emotions, but if you're experiencing overwhelming sadness, anxiety, irritability, or trouble bonding with your baby, you don't have to face it alone. I specialize in helping postpartum parents navigate the complexities of this transition. Using evidence-based therapies, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help you move from surviving to thriving, fostering healing for both you and your family.
