Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in postpartum mental health.
Postpartum depression and anxiety are common, and the experience is rarely only clinical. You may be holding it together all day and falling apart once the baby sleeps, loving your child and missing your former life at the same time, unable to stop checking whether the baby is breathing, or afraid to admit even to yourself how hard this actually is. Rage and intrusive thoughts are more common than most people are told.
I work psychoanalytically, which means a symptom like relentless vigilance is treated as saying something rather than as a malfunction. It carries an unconscious logic worth understanding. Early motherhood also stirs up your own beginnings, and how you were mothered often surfaces at three in the morning. Those echoes are frequently the heart of the work.
If postpartum has been harder or stranger than you expected, I would be glad to talk.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Despite its obvious joys, new parenthood almost inevitably takes a toll on romantic partnerships. Seemingly overnight each partner is thrust into a different role from what they are used to, and a different role from their partner. They feel misunderstood, underappreciated, and often lonely. Additionally, there is a constant source of need, possibly contributing to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. New mothers famously feel guilt for whatever they feel they aren’t doing well enough as a mother. They might be seeking support but coming up short, which exacerbates their self-doubt and loneliness. New fathers often deeply desire to be helpful and good providers while bonding with their child, but sometimes they don’t feel good enough or appreciated despite their efforts. You might have a parent staying home for the first time, feeling lost in the mountain of domestic responsibilities. Therapy is often the last item on a new parent’s to-do list, but it is the ultimate form of self care, especially if their partner feels emotionally far away. Therapy is a way of reuniting the love that brought you together while both holding up this new little life.

In supporting patients with postpartum depression, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment to explore their experiences. Through education and open discussion, we work together to increase awareness and understanding of postpartum depression symptoms and triggers. I help them develop coping strategies to manage their emotions and navigate the challenges they may face. Additionally, I offer support in accessing resources and building a strong support network. The goal is to empower them to prioritize their mental health and well-being during this challenging time and facilitate their journey toward recovery and emotional wellness.
