Postpartum
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
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.

Postpartum
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
It’s common for new mothers (and fathers) to experience a wide range of emotions after childbirth—joy and gratitude mixed with sadness, anxiety, or a sense of being overwhelmed. These feelings don’t mean you’re failing as a parent; they mean you’re human. Postpartum counseling offers a supportive space to talk openly about your experience, understand what you’re going through, and learn ways to care for yourself during this transition. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more balanced, confident, and connected—to yourself and your baby.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
As both a perinatal psychologist and a mother, I know how intense and tender this time can be. I'm here to support you through it. Motherhood can be beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and profoundly transformative - all at once. Postpartum anxiety and depression often reflect your needs, fears, and the shifts in identity and relationships that come with this stage of life. In our work, I offer a steady, supportive space to feel, reflect, and understand these experiences. With curiosity and care, these feelings can guide you toward greater insight, connection, and confidence as a parent.
