Postpartum Depression therapists in Ellendale, Tennessee TN
Dr. Adam Shafer
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.

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.

Counselor/Therapist
Fourth Trimester is an often forgotten part of pregnancy. Many people find themselves lost and sometimes detached from the experience they had assumed they would have. This can be very scary, depressing, and a source of shame in the face of others' joy and expectations of you. Therapy can be a safe and validating place to feel and process your actual experience and to help you re-initiate bonding with your child and find compassion and healing for yourself.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Masters, Marriage and Family Therapy; Licensed Professional Counseling
Postpartum depression is a very real disorder which can wreck lives and even lead to suicide or homicide. It will occur after 30 days, possibly months after birthing our children, and can swallow us up. It is not like the lesser depression and anxiety that normally follows birth but is short lived; and it requires counseling, and even at times-medication to recover.
