Postpartum Depression
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
While it is typical to experience mild mood changes during or after the birth of a child, 15-20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. The term "postpartum depression" is most frequently used; however, many women actually experience a variety of challenges including depression and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy or postpartum OCD, Postpartum Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (many times referred to as "birth trauma"), bipolar mood disorders, or postpartum psychosis. Symptoms can appear anytime during pregnancy and during the first year after childbirth. I use effective and well researched treatment approaches targeted to your specific needs to help you recover.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
In the tender, often overwhelming journey of motherhood, I offer a nurturing space for mothers grappling with postpartum depression. I understand the complex interplay of emotions that new mothers face — the joy, the fear, the overwhelming sense of responsibility, and the often unspoken sadness. With sensitivity and compassion, I walk alongside you, offering a listening ear and a guiding hand through this delicate phase. Together, we work to illuminate the path toward healing, balancing the challenges of motherhood with the need for personal care and emotional well-being. It's a journey of rediscovering your strength and joy, not just as a mother, but as a woman who deserves to thrive in every aspect of her life.

Postpartum Depression
Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
As a certified nurse midwife, I provided bedside care to women and their families for 14 years before moving onto mental health. The first thing I did as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner was to start a perinatal service to support women throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Postpartum can be a challenging time for the birthing parent as well as their partner, robbing them of bonding with their baby. This is a multifactorial condition that can be treated with early intervention and support.
