Portsmouth, Virginia therapist: Alabaster Counseling, licensed professional counselor
Postpartum Depression

Alabaster Counseling

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Bringing a new life into the world is supposed to feel joyful, but for many women, it can also bring unexpected sadness, anxiety, numbness, or feelings that are hard to explain and even harder to admit out loud. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in supporting women through postpartum depression and the full spectrum of perinatal mental health concerns, including prenatal anxiety, postpartum anxiety, and the emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy and in the months following birth. We want you to know that what you are experiencing is real, it is common, and it does not make you a bad mother. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we help you process your feelings, find your footing in this new season, and rediscover the warmth and connection you deserve with yourself and your baby. You reached out, and that took courage. We are so glad you are here.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Kelsey Ellis, psychologist
Postpartum Depression

Kelsey Ellis

Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Postpartum depression can bring sadness, irritability, guilt, or a sense of disconnection during a time when you may feel pressure to appear joyful and capable. Many women find themselves questioning their identity, capacity, or emotional responses while adjusting to the demands of new motherhood. In our work together, we focus on making sense of these shifts, reducing isolation, and rebuilding a steadier internal footing so you can care for yourself while caring for your child.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: Mae Winters, licensed professional counselor
Postpartum Depression

Mae Winters

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Postpartum depression can affect new parents in ways that feel confusing, isolating, and overwhelming. It may show up as persistent sadness, irritability, emotional numbness, anxiety, guilt, or difficulty bonding—often alongside exhaustion and major life changes. Many parents struggle silently due to shame or fear of being judged, even when they deeply care about their child. I work with individuals experiencing postpartum depression to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space for emotional processing and stabilization. Therapy focuses on managing mood symptoms, reducing self-criticism, strengthening coping and regulation skills, and addressing the emotional and identity shifts that often accompany the postpartum period. Treatment is paced with compassion and respects the realities of early parenthood. The goal of therapy is to help parents feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally connected—to themselves and their families—while navigating this vulnerable season with care rather than pressure.
