Postpartum Depression therapists in New Braunfels, Texas TX

Postpartum Depression  

I provide medication management and brief psychotherapy for postpartum depression and other postpartum mental health concerns  

Perhaps you've never struggled with depression but now all of a sudden you can't seem to will yourself out of bed. Everyone seems to be thrilled about this little baby you have recently brought into the world, yet you can't seem to find your shoes. The world is moving horribly slow and you know some how you are about to get swallowed up into it. You are not alone. Post partum effects upwards of 20% of new (and not so new) moms. There is no shame in saying "I'm not my best self and I need help."  

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.  

Pospartum depression can feel overwhelming. You feel like you are stuck with these depressive thoughts. Let's work together to find a way to get through these moments in a safe manner. Pospartum depression counseling can help you understand your thoughts and feelings. It can provide support, education and guidance as you work through this difficult time. Pospartum depression counseling is different than postpartum depression support groups. Pospartum depression counseling is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to be effective in treating postpartum depression. If you are struggling with postpartum depression, please call me to set up an appointment for Pospartum Depression Counseling.
