Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The postpartum period can bring profound emotional changes, and it may be difficult to reconcile what you're experiencing with what you expected motherhood to feel like. You may be feeling persistently sad, anxious, irritable, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. You might also be struggling with guilt, self-doubt, or the pressure to manage everything while caring for your baby and adjusting to a new identity. You don't have to navigate these feelings alone, and experiencing them doesn't mean you're failing as a parent. Therapy offers a compassionate space to make sense of what you're going through, explore the emotional changes and expectations surrounding motherhood, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can work toward greater self-compassion, a stronger sense of support, and a more manageable path through this transition.

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.
