Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Welcoming a child is a monumental life shift, but when postpartum depression or anxiety takes hold, it can leave you feeling completely untethered, exhausted, and filled with invisible guilt. Anne provides a warm, deeply validating, and judgment-free space just for you. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), she specializes in helping mothers, fathers, and partners navigate the heavy, complex mood changes that can follow pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.
Anne’s integrative approach goes beyond standard parenting advice to treat the root of perinatal depression. By combining evidence-based clinical protocols with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she helps parents quiet intrusive thoughts, regulate an overwhelmed nervous system, and process profound shifts in identity. Whether you are facing traditional postpartum depression, navigating reproductive trauma, grieving a loss, or balancing motherhood with a chronic medical diagnosis, Anne is dedicated to helping you break through the isolation, build gentle coping strategies, and safely reconnect with yourself and your baby.
