Postpartum
Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
This should be one of the most special times in your life. However, it often brings a storm of intense emotions, from overwhelming love to unexpected fear, rage, or deep sadness. If you are struggling with the transition to motherhood, you don’t have to do it alone.
My approach combines Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to provide a compassionate, safe harbor for your postpartum experience:
Understanding Your Inner World (IFS): Motherhood can feel like a warzone inside. A "part" of you may feel ecstatic, while another feels terrified, guilty, or disconnected. Using IFS, we will gently meet the part of you that is screaming, the part that is hiding, and the part that is trying to "fix" everything. We will move away from self-criticism toward curiosity, learning to calm your inner critic and protect your weary parts.
Reconnecting and Repairing (EFT): Postpartum anxiety and depression can leave you feeling isolated from your partner, your baby, or yourself. EFT helps you navigate these attachment shifts. We will identify the negative cycles—the "dance" that leads to disconnection—and replace them with secure, authentic, and compassionate bonds.
Instead of trying to "fix" you, this therapy is designed to validate your experience, help you understand your emotional needs, and empower you to show up as your authentic self. You are not losing yourself; you are integrating a new, complex, and beautiful identity.

Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients experiencing postpartum depression by creating a safe and empathetic space where they can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and challenges without judgment. I help them understand that postpartum depression is a common and treatable condition, providing psychoeducation about its emotional, physical, and hormonal components. I work with clients to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and implement self-care routines that support both their mental health and their role as a parent. I teach evidence-based skills, such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and emotion regulation, to manage negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings. Additionally, I assist in connecting clients with social supports, medical providers, or support groups as needed. Throughout treatment, I offer validation, encouragement, and practical tools to help clients recover, rebuild confidence, and strengthen their overall well-being while navigating the postpartum period.

Postpartum
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Postpartum depression is far more common than most new mothers are told — and far more treatable than it feels in the middle of it. If you are experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, or an overwhelming sense that something is wrong despite doing everything right, you are not failing as a mother. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and maternal mental health, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy designed specifically for new and expecting mothers navigating one of life's most significant transitions. Telehealth postpartum therapy available across 40+ states.

Postpartum
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with mothers in the months and years after birth who feel “off” in ways that others don’t always see. Many of the mothers I see look like they are managing from the outside, while feeling anything but okay on the inside. You may love your baby and still feel overwhelmed, numb, irritable, or not at home in your own life.
Some have had medically complicated or frightening births, NICU stays, pregnancy or birth complications, or babies with ongoing medical needs. Others had births that looked fine from the outside, but something about the experience or the aftermath has left them feeling unlike themselves.
Postpartum experiences can include persistent sadness or emptiness; anxiety, racing thoughts, or a sense of dread that does not match what is happening; intrusive thoughts or images, including fears about something happening to your baby; replaying the birth or hospital stay and wondering if you did something wrong; irritability or feeling on edge with your baby, partner, or other children; difficulty sleeping, eating, or caring for yourself even when you technically have the chance; feeling disconnected from your baby, your body, or the person you used to be; shame or guilt that you are not enjoying this time the way you thought you would; and loneliness even when you are rarely alone.
For mothers whose babies had NICU stays or ongoing medical issues, there may also be ongoing vigilance and fear, medical trauma, and the sense that you never really got a chance to just be home with your baby. I have spent more than three decades sitting with women in the perinatal season, and I know how varied “postpartum” can be.
In our work together, we slow things down and make room for your full experience without judgment. Your birth story, your mood, your fears, and your exhaustion are all welcome here. From there, we explore small, realistic shifts that help you feel more anchored, supported, and less alone in this season of your life. You do not have to be in crisis to reach out, or to prove that you are “struggling enough.” Feeling off, unlike yourself, or quietly overwhelmed is enough.
