Postpartum Depression therapists in Crystal Lake, Illinois IL

Being a woman is hard, and being a woman who just had a baby can seem very emotionally taxing. You are not alone. When you feel this way-it is the best to seek and ask for support. Let me support you to balancing your emotions and feeling whole again!  

I have worked with many clients that range from those having "baby blues" to postpartum psychosis. This is a complex issue that needs a good team behind you.  

Giving birth and raising a child is one of the most significant adjustments any parent must make that requires us to accommodate ourselves to the presence of an infant/young child who is dependent on us. This can (and almost certainly does at times) feel desperate to the point that we don't know what to do. It is vital that we allow ourselves some degree of self-compassion to know and accept these overwhelming circumstance in order to reach out to others for support and guidance to help us through.  

New mothers expect to have a wonderful experience when they bring their babies home. If you are living with postpartum depression, that wonderful experience can feel like a nightmare. In therapy, I work to help new mothers find their way through postpartum depression back to healthy, connected coping.
