Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
The transition to parenthood can bring profound changes emotionally, physically, and relationally. Postpartum depression is more than the "baby blues" and can affect a parent's ability to enjoy daily life or feel connected to themselves and their child. We provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to address feelings of sadness, overwhelm, guilt, anxiety, or isolation while helping parents access the support they need during this important life stage.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Postpartum depression can feel isolating, overwhelming, and at times confusing, especially during a period that is often expected to feel joyful. I support clients as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that can come after childbirth, including sadness, anxiety, irritability, guilt, or feeling disconnected from themselves or their baby. In our work together, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process these experiences while also building coping strategies and emotional support systems. My goal is to help you feel understood, less alone, and more grounded as you adjust to this new chapter of life.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
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.

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.
