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.

Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with women experiencing emotional distress related to childbirth —such as traumatic deliveries, medical interventions, intraoperative pain during cesarean, or perinatal loss—with sensitivity to how past sexual trauma can resurface during childbirth.

Katie at Jade Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You don’t feel how you thought you would feel. There are a lot of visions you had for when you were a new mom - and none of them are coming to fruition! You might feel angry, sad, lonely. You deserve support! I’ve been there. I work with many many folks who have been there (and are still there). It’s not your fault, and you can feel better. You’re a good parent!

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Despite its obvious joys, new parenthood almost inevitably takes a toll on romantic partnerships. Seemingly overnight each partner is thrust into a different role from what they are used to, and a different role from their partner. They feel misunderstood, underappreciated, and often lonely. Additionally, there is a constant source of need, possibly contributing to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. New mothers famously feel guilt for whatever they feel they aren’t doing well enough as a mother. They might be seeking support but coming up short, which exacerbates their self-doubt and loneliness. New fathers often deeply desire to be helpful and good providers while bonding with their child, but sometimes they don’t feel good enough or appreciated despite their efforts. You might have a parent staying home for the first time, feeling lost in the mountain of domestic responsibilities. Therapy is often the last item on a new parent’s to-do list, but it is the ultimate form of self care, especially if their partner feels emotionally far away. Therapy is a way of reuniting the love that brought you together while both holding up this new little life.

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.
