Bethany Middleton
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, NCC
PPD is something I am passionate about. It is not talked about enough and I strive to help mamas navigate through it by providing a safe space to experience all the emotions while learning how to overcome.

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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
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.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Postpartum depression is often not what new parents expect. Alongside low mood it can bring rage, intrusive thoughts that frighten you, numbness toward the baby, or grief for your former life that feels forbidden to say out loud. I hold advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, and one of the first things we do is distinguish postpartum depression from postpartum anxiety, from adjustment, and from the plain exhaustion of caring for an infant — because those call for different things. Much of the early work is simply making it speakable, since shame is what keeps most parents from getting help during the first year.
