Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Are you wondering why you feel down and unmotivated to do anything instead of enjoying these precious moments with your little bundle of joy? While many birthing parents experience what's called the "baby blues," you may be experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression if you find yourself feeling depressed for over two weeks beyond childbirth. Many parents feel extremely alone in their sadness, believing that they are the only ones who experience this. However, postpartum depression (along with other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) is fairly common. The months following an infant's birth can be especially hard for mothers. In addition to the fluctuating hormones, many find that they don't have the support that they need. In my work with new parents, I assess for postpartum depression, anxiety, and childbirth trauma. I tailor treatment to your unique difficulties and therapy needs, incorporating research-supported therapy treatments. I also provide information on community resources, and am happy to collaborate with support persons you've identified, with your permission. I've taken Postpartum Support International's certification training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, as well as their advanced psychotherapy training. I'm also currently serving as Co-Chair of PSI-FL's Board.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
My passion is to help people uncover what is possible, realize what they are capable of, and finding inner peace. Parenting in today's world is a balancing act between self care and caring for others. Leading your children through life in today's highly volatile world can be scary. The pressures, hormones and emotions that occur post partum can complicate what should be a joyful time bringing feelings of inadequacy, stress and even depression. I have been there and experienced it myself. Post Partum Depression can show up many different ways. Whether it is dealing with coparenting issues, anger management, sadness, exhaustion, mood swings, isolation, issues with maintaining adult relationships, the physical and emotional demands of parenting can be overwhelming and detrimnetal to your health. I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. I will support you, providing a safe place to process emotions so you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling fully effective in your parenting and getting past your depression.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. oo 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.
