Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Postpartum Depression counseling and support services focus on helping new mothers navigate the complex emotional challenges that may arise following childbirth. PPD is a common mental health concern characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue that can hinder a mother's ability to care for herself or her newborn. We provide compassionate care, understanding, and professional treatment strategies to support mothers in their recovery from postpartum depression.
Personalized Treatment and Healing
* Counseling: Offering individual counseling sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), to address the specific emotional needs of each mother.
* Medication Management: Assessing and providing guidance on the use of medications when necessary, while considering breastfeeding and hormonal fluctuations.
* Support Groups: Facilitating support groups to provide a shared space where mothers can connect with others going through similar experiences.
* Partner and Family Involvement: Involving partners and family members in the recovery process, providing education to enhance their understanding and ability to offer support.
* Wellness and Self-Care Strategies: Encouraging practices that promote physical well-being and self-care to support overall mental health during the postpartum period.
Goals of Postpartum Depression Counseling
Our PPD counseling and support services strive to:
* Alleviate Symptoms: Reduce the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms, helping mothers regain emotional balance.
* Strengthen Mother-Child Bonding: Assist mothers in developing a nurturing bond with their newborn, which is essential for the child's development and the mother's emotional well-being.
* Restore Functionality: Empower mothers to manage daily tasks and responsibilities effectively, improving their ability to care for themselves and their families.
* Build Resilience: Foster resilience and coping skills to handle the stresses and demands of motherhood.
* Promote Recovery and Well-being: Support sustained recovery and a return to a state of well-being, enabling mothers to experience the joys of motherhood alongside its challenges.
Postpartum Depression is a treatable condition, and our goal is to support mothers in overcoming these challenges so they can enjoy motherhood to the fullest. We believe in providing a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where mothers can seek help without stigma. You are not alone, and with the right help, recovery is possible.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Despite its obvious joys, new parenthood almost inevitably takes a toll on romantic partnerships. Seemingly overnight each partner is thrust into a different role from what they are used to, and a different role from their partner. They feel misunderstood, underappreciated, and often lonely. Additionally, there is a constant source of need, possibly contributing to sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. New mothers famously feel guilt for whatever they feel they aren’t doing well enough as a mother. They might be seeking support but coming up short, which exacerbates their self-doubt and loneliness. New fathers often deeply desire to be helpful and good providers while bonding with their child, but sometimes they don’t feel good enough or appreciated despite their efforts. You might have a parent staying home for the first time, feeling lost in the mountain of domestic responsibilities. Therapy is often the last item on a new parent’s to-do list, but it is the ultimate form of self care, especially if their partner feels emotionally far away. Therapy is a way of reuniting the love that brought you together while both holding up this new little life.

Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Becoming a parent for the first, or fifth, time can be an amazing rite of passage. It can also be a shock to our bodies, our identity, and our patterns of daily living. If we have a child in the context of a partnership, it can be difficult to perceive growing, adjusting, or adapting to parenthood at a different pace than our partner. These factors, not to mention hormonal shifts, can contribute to postpartum depressiveness that can be difficult to manage when we have a tiny human to nurture and protect. Experience a safe space to talk about all the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing.
