Postpartum
Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Postpartum depression is often not what new parents expect. Alongside low mood it can bring rage, intrusive thoughts that frighten you, numbness toward the baby, or grief for your former life that feels forbidden to say out loud. I hold advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, and one of the first things we do is distinguish postpartum depression from postpartum anxiety, from adjustment, and from the plain exhaustion of caring for an infant — because those call for different things. Much of the early work is simply making it speakable, since shame is what keeps most parents from getting help during the first year.

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.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with new and expecting mothers navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, including the intrusive thoughts and OCD-like symptoms that can accompany the postpartum period and often go unspoken. I've received specialized training through Postpartum Support International, in both English and Spanish, and I bring that alongside my broader background in CBT and OCD treatment to help clients understand what they're experiencing and build practical tools to manage it. When helpful, I collaborate with other providers involved in your care, such as your OB-GYN or psychiatrist, so your treatment is coordinated rather than happening in isolation. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.
