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.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Giving birth and raising a child is one of the most significant adjustments any parent must make that requires us to accommodate ourselves to the presence of an infant/young child who is dependent on us. This can (and almost certainly does at times) feel desperate to the point that we don't know what to do. It is vital that we allow ourselves some degree of self-compassion to know and accept these overwhelming circumstance in order to reach out to others for support and guidance to help us through.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Compassionate Support for Postpartum Depression
Bringing a baby into the world is often painted as a joyful experience, but for many parents, it can also bring overwhelming feelings of sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, or isolation. If you’re struggling with postpartum depression (PPD) or postpartum anxiety, you are not alone—and you don’t have to go through this by yourself. At The Empowering Space, we provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can process your emotions, regain balance, and feel supported in your journey through new parenthood.
Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and practical coping strategies, we help new parents navigate mood changes, intrusive thoughts, feelings of guilt, and the challenges of adjusting to life with a baby. Your well-being matters just as much as your baby’s, and seeking support is a sign of strength.
You deserve care, healing, and support—let’s take this step together.

Being a parent is already hard enough and doesn’t come with an instruction manual. We often learn that we parent and teach our children the way we were brought up. We take a step back and look and sometimes say, well we didn’t turn out so bad even though we had trauma. But in reality, we are fighting against ourselves to break habits and change but find ourselves sometimes stuck in old ways.
I am by no means the perfect parent and I have had to relearn how to parent my three children. I always feel extreme guilt because my oldest son who is now six had to endure the me that was struggling with trauma and I parented him that way. I often yelled and didn’t know how to handle meltdowns of his because I was never taught to regulate my emotions. His screaming made me spiral and it was like I just saw a black screen in my brain and everything went downhill with it. I used techniques I thought made sense that my mother used on me, but looking back they were awful and not at all affectionate, loving or beneficial for my son. I had to accept that I messed up but have made up for it by learning myself and getting in tune with my son. I changed the way I speak, or handle situations with my daughters and I feel parenthood has been easier (for what it can be with three wild children). I also had a mother who had total influence over my life and would interfere with how I would parent. For that reason and some others, I decided to cut ties with the relationship. Was it the hardest thing I had to do, yes… but by doing this my children are flourishing and this mama is free and can make her own decisions and feel good about them.
You may have parents who are still in your life and have influence on how you raise your children. You could be turning to social media with unrealistic expectations which causes you to feel bad about yourself and ways of parenting. Or you may just be stuck in your ways and you want to change but you don’t know how.
Trauma can be an all-encompassing construct that includes a spectrum of different experiences, we define trauma as abuse endured during childhood in terms of physical neglect or abuse, emotional neglect or abuse, and sexual abuse.

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.
