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.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Nobody warned you it could feel like this. The exhaustion that sleep does not touch. The fear that arrives out of nowhere. The sense that you should be happy and cannot find your way to it. This is not a character flaw and it is not a lack of faith. I specialize in the perinatal season, and I can help you name what is happening and find your feet again.

Much like loss and grief, PostPartum Depression is an issue that can be resolved through Hypnotherapy. Once we understand the specific triggers for the various symptoms, we can alter the client's responses, installing positive triggers. We can even alter the body's responses, going into the part of the subconscious mind that controls hormones and other physical processes and change settings, getting the body to reset things to the optimum levels. This is a technique that I have used frequently for many different issues and it works powerfully.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for postpartum depression and related perinatal mental health challenges, including postpartum anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts after childbirth, bonding difficulties, and the stress that can accompany early parenthood. These experiences can deeply affect emotional well-being, relationships, marriage dynamics, and overall family functioning.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to postpartum mental health, helping clients navigate the emotional, psychological, and relational changes that often occur after childbirth. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, guilt, disconnection, or exhaustion, while also addressing the underlying stressors and life adjustments that may be contributing to distress.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing and recovery. Treatment focuses on reducing emotional distress, restoring balance, strengthening coping skills, and helping clients reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and their sense of purpose.
Postpartum challenges often involve significant hormonal, emotional, and identity shifts, and they can be intensified by past trauma, lack of support, sleep deprivation, or ongoing stress. Brad’s approach helps clients explore both present-day stressors and deeper emotional patterns in order to support meaningful and lasting recovery.
Therapy is collaborative, individualized, and focused on helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered during this important life transition. The goal is not only symptom relief, but also helping clients rebuild emotional stability, confidence, and connection within themselves and their family system.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move through postpartum depression, restore emotional balance, and experience greater connection, joy, and stability in motherhood and family life.
