Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
Bringing a new baby into the world doesn’t always feel the way you expected it to. If you're struggling with sadness, anxiety, irritability, or a sense of disconnection after birth, you're not alone—and you’re not failing. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what you're going through, reconnect with yourself, and begin healing. With evidence-based support tailored to this tender stage of life, we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.

Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
You love your baby, but you don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure how to get back to feeling okay. Postpartum depression and anxiety affects 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers. It can include feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, anger, guilt, worthlessness, loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy, and can affect your ability to bond with your baby and connect with your partner. Postpartum depression is common, treatable, and does not mean you're a bad parent. With the right support, the transition to parenthood can feel much more manageable.
I’m a licensed psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) offering virtual individual therapy to adults struggling with depression, anxiety, identity shifts, and relationship challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I have completed advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and am passionate about supporting parents through the tender transition to parenthood.
