Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Welcoming a new baby is often portrayed as a joyful time—but for many, it brings unexpected waves of sadness, anxiety, irritability, or even a sense of disconnection. If you’re struggling after birth, you're not failing—you're human, and you’re not alone. I help new moms and birthing parents navigate the emotional challenges of the postpartum period with compassion and evidence-based support. Whether you're experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help you find relief, reconnect with yourself, and feel more confident in your new role.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bringing a new life into the world is often painted as a time of joy and fulfillment—but for many, it is also a time of overwhelming emotions, exhaustion, and self-doubt. If you’ve been feeling more anxious, numb, or hopeless than excited, you are not alone. Maybe you struggle with guilt over not feeling the way you think you "should," or you find yourself withdrawing from loved ones. Perhaps everyday tasks feel impossible, or waves of sadness and frustration leave you feeling unrecognizable to yourself.
Postpartum depression is not a reflection of your love for your baby or your abilities as a parent—it is a real and treatable condition that many experience. Together, we will create a space where you can be honest about what you're going through, free from judgment. You deserve support, understanding, and the reassurance that you are not failing—you are adjusting to a profound life transition. With the right tools and care, it is possible to reconnect with yourself, find relief from the weight of depression, and move toward a place of balance and self-compassion.

The postpartum period can bring depression, anxiety, irritability, guilt, overwhelm, or a sense that you aren't feeling the way you expected to.
