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.

West Valley City is Utah's second-largest city and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state, home to large Latino, Polynesian (particularly Tongan and Samoan), and refugee communities that make it dramatically different from the predominantly white, LDS suburban cities surrounding it in the Salt Lake Valley. This diversity creates significant demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy, and the intersection of mental health needs across immigrant, refugee, and Pacific Islander communities with Utah's broader LDS religious culture—which shapes community norms around mental health and help-seeking—creates a complex and underserved landscape. Intermountain Health and Valley Behavioral Health provide services in the area, and community health organizations address the specific trauma and adjustment needs of refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, acculturation, family stress, economic anxiety, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a city where cultural and religious contexts vary sharply across neighborhoods.
