Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
While I do not offer therapy for pregnancy and postpartum depression, mental health challenges during pregnancy, or the first life of your child’s life are common. You are not alone and you are not to blame. Often, ideas of pregnancy and parenthood can be romanticized while your personal experience can feel both overwhelming and daunting. At Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we have therapists who are well positioned to support you.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
After the delivery of your child, the body continues to go through changes, physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially. These changes may feel confusing, overwhelming, and undesirable. Intense emotions of joy, anxiety, fear, sadness, and happiness may be felt all at once. The lack of sleep, pain associated with breastfeeding, lack of support, crying frequently are all symptoms that are important to talk about. Dads can also experience depression. Let us work together to help you how to best manage these changes.

Nurturing the Nurturer: Finding Light Through Postpartum Depression
The arrival of a new baby is often described as a time of pure bliss, but for many parents, the reality feels shockingly different. Postpartum depression isn't just the "baby blues"—it is a profound, suffocating fog that can leave you feeling deeply exhausted, disconnected from your infant, plagued by intrusive fears, and overwhelmed by a heavy, silent guilt.
When sleep deprivation meets massive hormonal shifts and the overwhelming weight of new responsibility, your nervous system can become severely depleted. Expecting yourself to "bounce back" or enjoy every moment while fighting deep emotional darkness only deepens the isolation, leaving you asking: "Why don't I feel happy? What is wrong with me?"
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we offer a gentle, non-judgmental refuge where you can drop the heavy expectation of being a "perfect parent." Guided by our foundational values of empathy, tailored care, and authentic growth, we provide a compassionate space to help you heal, restore your strength, and process the complex emotions of parenthood.
Through our heart-centered, integrative approach, we walk alongside you to:
Lift the Weight of Guilt and Shame: Validate the full spectrum of your postpartum reality, normalizing intrusive thoughts and complex feelings without judgment.
Replenish an Exhausted Nervous System: Utilize gentle somatic grounding and regulation tools to soothe postpartum anxiety, calm hyper-vigilance, and restore physical energy.
Reclaim Your Identity and Joy: Help you navigate the profound identity shift of parenthood, rebuild emotional resilience, and cultivate a deep, secure bond with your baby—and yourself.
You do not have to suffer in silence or navigate the darkness of postpartum depression alone. Healing is entirely possible, and with the right support, you can step out of survival mode and reclaim the warmth, peace, and joy you deserve.
