Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
New mothers expect to have a wonderful experience when they bring their babies home. If you are living with postpartum depression, that wonderful experience can feel like a nightmare. In therapy, I work to help new mothers find their way through postpartum depression back to healthy, connected coping.

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!

Postpartum
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bringing a new life into the world is often painted as a time of joy and fulfillment—but for many, it is also a time of overwhelming emotions, exhaustion, and self-doubt. If you’ve been feeling more anxious, numb, or hopeless than excited, you are not alone. Maybe you struggle with guilt over not feeling the way you think you "should," or you find yourself withdrawing from loved ones. Perhaps everyday tasks feel impossible, or waves of sadness and frustration leave you feeling unrecognizable to yourself.
Postpartum depression is not a reflection of your love for your baby or your abilities as a parent—it is a real and treatable condition that many experience. Together, we will create a space where you can be honest about what you're going through, free from judgment. You deserve support, understanding, and the reassurance that you are not failing—you are adjusting to a profound life transition. With the right tools and care, it is possible to reconnect with yourself, find relief from the weight of depression, and move toward a place of balance and self-compassion.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting parents experiencing postpartum depression, including feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, disconnection, or not feeling like yourself after the birth of a child. Many parents feel pressure to be grateful or happy while privately struggling with overwhelm, guilt, or a sense of loss of identity. Postpartum depression is not a personal failure, it is a real and treatable experience that deserves compassionate care. Our approach provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process these emotions, strengthen emotional stability, and help parents reconnect with themselves and their role with greater confidence and self-compassion. Remember, the non-birthing caregiver can also experience postpartum depression symptoms.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
