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.

Postpartum
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 and anxiety affects 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers. It can include feelings of sadness, anxiety, 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.

Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for women navigating a wide range of mental health concerns across the lifespan, including hormonal transitions, reproductive health changes, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. My collaborative approach focuses on supporting emotional balance, reducing symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, irritability, and overwhelm, and helping clients feel more grounded and supported during times of transition. When appropriate, I integrate medication management with supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies to promote healing, resilience, and long-term emotional well-being for women at every stage of life.

Joanne Whalen, Psy.D., PMH-C
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Perinatal mental health is an area I feel most passionate about treating both as a psychologist and a parent.
I have supported women and birthing people during pregnancy, perinatal loss, infertility, IVF, birth trauma, and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I am Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International as well as trained in Mindful Birthing and Parenting.
I have worked directly in OBGYN clinics as well as in coordination with midwifery and OBGYN practices at a large university based hospital. I have completed research and published in the area of mindfulness based approaches for prevention of postpartum challenges. I have also presented on perinatal mental health issues to Midwifery and OBGYN providers groups at a large University based hospital system.
I have co-led a Mindfulness based group for women/birthing people during pregnancy for over a decade that focuses on wellness during pregnancy, reducing risk for postpartum depression and anxiety disorders, increasing social support and teaching skills to help navigate stress, pregnancy, labor, delivery and parenting.
