Postpartum Depression Therapists in Shreveport, LA

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.

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.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same. It is important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder. We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Shreveport is the commercial center of northwest Louisiana and sits at the cultural intersection of Louisiana Creole heritage, East Texas oil culture, and the Red River Valley's agricultural tradition — a distinctive mix that shapes a therapy community dealing with economic volatility, the psychological effects of an oil-dependent regional economy, and deep community divisions along racial and economic lines. The city has a majority African American population and significant healthcare infrastructure through Willis-Knighton Health System and Ochsner LSU Health, the latter of which provides important training programs for the local clinical community. Barksdale Air Force Base generates meaningful demand for military-focused therapists serving active-duty personnel and veterans in the region. Shreveport's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream offering across many local practices.
