Dr. Daisy Vélez

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.

Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The postpartum period can bring profound emotional changes, and it may be difficult to reconcile what you're experiencing with what you expected motherhood to feel like. You may be feeling persistently sad, anxious, irritable, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. You might also be struggling with guilt, self-doubt, or the pressure to manage everything while caring for your baby and adjusting to a new identity. You don't have to navigate these feelings alone, and experiencing them doesn't mean you're failing as a parent. Therapy offers a compassionate space to make sense of what you're going through, explore the emotional changes and expectations surrounding motherhood, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can work toward greater self-compassion, a stronger sense of support, and a more manageable path through this transition.

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.

Postpartum
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.”
For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood and postpartum issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Dr. Nadel has extensive education and training in post-partum disorders, understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Common postpartum symptoms include:
Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions
Lack of focus and concentration
Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
Being constantly in a state of worry
