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.

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.

Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Becoming a parent for the first, or fifth, time can be an amazing rite of passage. It can also be a shock to our bodies, our identity, and our patterns of daily living. If we have a child in the context of a partnership, it can be difficult to perceive growing, adjusting, or adapting to parenthood at a different pace than our partner. These factors, not to mention hormonal shifts, can contribute to postpartum depressiveness that can be difficult to manage when we have a tiny human to nurture and protect. Experience a safe space to talk about all the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing.

Postpartum depression is a form of grief. The person is coming to terms with the reality that their old life is dead and will no longer be the same. The sadness of grief is an important component of Postpartum Depression and is necessary to help the person move towards acceptance and integrated meaning.
