Postpartum
Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
The months after having a baby are supposed to feel joyful, and when they don't, many new parents feel alone and ashamed. Postpartum depression and anxiety can look like constant worry, numbness, irritability, intrusive thoughts, or feeling disconnected from your baby or your partner. My connection to this work goes back to before I became a therapist: I trained as a birth doula, supported midwives during my graduate practicum, and co-created a birth stories circle where parents could share their experiences. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk about what this season has really been like. When a difficult or traumatic birth is part of the picture, I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to help your body and mind process it. Because a new baby changes a relationship too, partners are always welcome to join, so you can support each other instead of struggling side by side.

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.

Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can make the early months of parenthood feel overwhelming, lonely, or frightening. Many new parents experience intense worry, sadness, irritability, racing thoughts, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or their baby. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist and PMH‑C certified clinician, I provide compassionate, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals understand what they’re experiencing, reduce emotional distress, and regain a sense of stability and confidence.
Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the challenges of sleep deprivation, shifting identity, relationship changes, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure to “feel okay.” Together, we work toward strengthening coping skills, rebuilding emotional balance, and helping you feel more grounded during this vulnerable and transformative time.

Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
You love your baby, but you don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure how to get back to feeling okay. Postpartum depression affects 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers. It can include feelings of sadness, irritability, anger, guilt, worthlessness, loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy, and can affect your ability to bond with your baby and connect with your partner. Postpartum depression is common, treatable, and does not mean you're a bad parent. With the right support, the transition to parenthood can feel much more manageable.
I’m a licensed psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) offering virtual individual therapy to adults struggling with depression, anxiety, identity shifts, and relationship challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and am passionate about supporting parents through the tender transition to parenthood.

Postpartum
Linda Friedman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The transformative experience of welcoming a child can bring a spectrum of emotions for new parents. While feelings of overwhelm, worry, sadness, or irritability are understandable, persistent or intense feelings can indicate postpartum depression. As an expert in this area, I offer compassionate and effective support tailored to the unique needs of new mothers.
