Postpartum Depression
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals experiencing postpartum depression (PPD). I understand that the transition to motherhood can bring about a mix of emotions—joy, anxiety, and sometimes overwhelming sadness. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and help is available.
In our sessions, we will create a safe and nurturing space where you can openly express your feelings and experiences. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be contributing to your depression. Together, we will work on developing practical coping strategies to manage your emotions and enhance your overall well-being.
I also incorporate mindfulness techniques and self-care practices to promote relaxation and present-moment awareness. These tools can help you cultivate a sense of calm and connection, both with yourself and your baby.
A crucial aspect of our work will involve psychoeducation. Understanding postpartum depression, its causes, and its effects can empower you to recognize that what you’re experiencing is valid and treatable. We will explore ways to communicate your needs and seek support from loved ones.
My goal is to support you through this challenging time, helping you navigate the complexities of postpartum emotions while fostering resilience and hope. Together, we can work towards reclaiming joy and creating a fulfilling connection with your new role as a parent.

I offer treatment plans with various evidence-based treatments OR a choice for a more unstructured evidence-informed approach. I primarily utilize treatments that fall under the umbrella of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can improve emotion regulation and personal coping strategies that can help solve current or future mental health problems. CBT is a goal-oriented therapy and is widely used as the gold standard treatment to treat various mental health conditions, including: depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia.

Postpartum Depression
Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Are you wondering why you feel down and unmotivated to do anything instead of enjoying these precious moments with your little bundle of joy? While many birthing parents experience what's called the "baby blues," you may be experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression if you find yourself feeling depressed for over two weeks beyond childbirth. Many parents feel extremely alone in their sadness, believing that they are the only ones who experience this. However, postpartum depression (along with other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) is fairly common. The months following an infant's birth can be especially hard for mothers. In addition to the fluctuating hormones, many find that they don't have the support that they need. In my work with new parents, I assess for postpartum depression, anxiety, and childbirth trauma. I tailor treatment to your unique difficulties and therapy needs, incorporating research-supported therapy treatments. I also provide information on community resources, and am happy to collaborate with support persons you've identified, with your permission. I've taken Postpartum Support International's certification training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, as well as their advanced psychotherapy training. I'm also currently serving as Co-Chair of PSI-FL's Board.

Postpartum Depression
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in postpartum depression, my approach to treatment is compassionate, holistic, and tailored to the unique needs of new mothers. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and support groups, I provide a safe space for women to express their feelings, explore the challenges of motherhood, and develop coping strategies. By addressing factors such as hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and social support, I help mothers navigate the complex emotions associated with postpartum depression. Additionally, I collaborate closely with healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care, including medication management when necessary. Psychoeducation about postpartum depression and self-care practices are also integral parts of treatment, empowering women to prioritize their mental health and well-being during this transformative period. My goal is to support mothers in overcoming postpartum depression, strengthening maternal-infant bonds, and embracing the joys of motherhood with resilience and confidence.
